It would be easier to burn a thin magnesium ribbon than a thick bar of magnesium metal

Explanation:

Rate of reaction depends on the surface area of the object. When the surface area of the reactants is more , there are more chances of the reactants to undergo collision and thus form more products and thus the rate of reaction increases.

When we compare thin magnesium ribbon to a thick bar of magnesium metal, thin magnesium ribbon has more surface area and thus would burn more easily when compared to thick magnesium metal which has lesser surface area.
