Candle, isn't it? so you can use the candle to light the rest.

Have to light the match first to then light the candle to light the lamp to better see when you light the stove. With a wooden match , I could light the candle and lamp before dropping the match into the stove to light it because we always have the stove set up with paper and kindling ready to light and use at camp.

You light the room first. (Depending on which meaning of the verb "light" is intended by the questioner, of course).

You strike the match....the match lights (illuminates) the room.

Simple, assuming it must be a trick question baed on the dual meanings of "light" ("ignite" and "illuminate").
