Question

what is the proper way to start a fire?
a gather small twigs and light them. then gather larger sticks.
b gather only kindling to start the fire. then light your fire.
c gather more firewood than you think you will use. then light your fire.
d gather only the firewood you think you will use. then light your fire.

Explanation:

To start a fire properly, you first gather small twigs (kindling) which are easy to light. Once the small twigs are burning (providing heat and a base), you can then add larger sticks. Option B is incorrect as just kindling won't sustain a fire well. Option C is not the proper sequence - you need to start with small twigs first. Option D is also incorrect as the sequence of gathering small twigs first (as in option A) is key.

Answer:

A. Gather small twigs and light them. Then gather larger sticks.
