Try this: select only one and Cmd + J. It will join the two endpoints of that path. It is probably not what you want, so Undo.

You should be able to use the Pen tool and click one Anchor point and then another to connect. Then repeat for the other two. If that doesn't work, we need to see what these are.

Select one and post a screen shot with the Layers panel expanded and the Appearance panel.

What are you trying to achieve? Would a Compound Path work?
