A small galaxy is most likely to merge with the following types of galaxies:
1. **a nearby galaxy** - This is correct because galaxies that are close together in space are more likely to interact and eventually merge due to gravitational attraction.
2. **a much larger galaxy** - This is also correct because smaller galaxies are often attracted to and can merge into larger galaxies, a process that is common in the evolution of galaxies.
So the two correct answers are:
- a nearby galaxy
- a much larger galaxy
