Why doesn’t the Shape Builder Tool let me select this specific shape?

enter image description here

I’m just starting to use Illustrator and I was watching some tutorials, but they don’t have this problem. Why is this happening?

Answer

There is probably a very small gap in there. Double click on the shape builder tool icon. This opens up options for the tool, enable gap detection and you should be good to go.
