Which statement about candles or incense is true in dorms?

• A. They Are Permitted During Holidays
• B. They Are Allowed If Unlit
• C. They Are Allowed If Unscented
• D. They Are Not Allowed

Answer: (D)

Open flames and smoke from candles or incense create a real fire and smoke hazard in dorm spaces, where alarms, sprinklers, and close quarters mean a small flame can lead to serious damage or danger. Because of that risk, dorm policies typically ban candles and incense outright, not allowing them even if unlit or unscented. The statement that they are not allowed reflects this strict safety rule. If you want a safer way to create ambiance or scent, opt for flameless LED candles or other non-heat fragrance options. Always check your dorm’s specific rules, but in most cases, candles and incense are prohibited.
