Answer 1

Answer:

1 . a candle

Explanation:

The answer to the riddle is A candle's life is 'measured in hours', as people only care about how long its flame will last. When you light a candle, it starts to melt, therefore it 'serves by being devoured'. A thin candle will melt quickly while a fat/large candle will burn for much longer.

Answer:

1) A candle.

2) All the people on the boat are married.
