how did the distribution problem affect nics business?
the distribution problem made it hard for nic to receive supplies for his candles. it also made it difficult for him to? find new customers weigh large boxes ship his products

Explanation:

The text mentions that due to the pandemic - related distribution problem (gift shops near Nic's home closing), he had trouble selling his candles. Distribution problems typically affect the ability to get products to customers, which means it would be difficult to ship his products. Receiving supplies is not directly related to the distribution problem described in terms of the closed - gift - shop context. Finding new customers is more of a marketing aspect rather than a direct result of the distribution problem here. Weighing large boxes is not mentioned as an issue.

Answer:

ship his products
