I have homework question.

The question is:

Analyze the Merge option regarding tables in Microsoft Word. Give a instance you might use it.

I know the concept of merging cells in a table together, but I am still confused on why I would use it.

Merge can be used to ...

... make address labels for a list of people.

... fill in names and addresses in form letters.

... fill in specific terms in form letters according to which name the letter is being addressed to.

and others.
