Final answer:

To merge two list entries, usually you would rename the unwanted entry to match the target entry, open it and look for a Merge option, or use a Combine Entries feature under an Activities menu.

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine or merge two list entries, the process generally depends on the specific software or platform you're using. However, based on the options provided, here is a generic step that might be taken:

  1. Rename the unwanted list entry to match the name of the list entry you want to merge into. This is often preparatory work before the actual merge.
  2. Next, open the list entry you want to get rid of, and seek an option to Merge. Sometimes, there might be a merge button or similar feature.
  3. Alternatively, you could look for an option under an Activities menu at the bottom of the page that says Combine Entries. This would likely be a feature designed to accomplish the merger of list items.

The last option provided, 'You cannot combine or merge two list entries,' is typically incorrect as most modern systems offer a way to consolidate records to maintain data quality and prevent duplication.
