Question

2. Observe Examine the flame closely. Is it the wax or the wick that burns?

Answer 1

Wax

Step-by-step explanation:

The combustible material in a candle or its fuel is wax. Before the wax can become fuel, it first needs to get hot enough. To start that heating process, you first need to light the wick with another source of fire, such as a match. As the wick burns down the heat of the flame melts the wax around the wick.
