Manually
Two or more categories of a question can be merged by dragging and dropping, or, by selecting the categories, right-clicking, and selecting Merge. If you have many similar questions that all need to be merged in the same way, you can achieve this using Modify Data - Use Question as Template for Modifying Other Questions.
Automatically
There are many other automated methods for merging, which are available if you search for merge in the Online Library.
