He studied the flames, trying to determine their exact location. This wasn't easy because of the distance and tall buildings between him and the flames. In addition, the moonless sky was made even murkier by the swirling, smoky haze. Schaffer signaled down the speaking tube and had his assistant strike Box 342. This sent engines rumbling through the streets — to a location almost a mile away from the O'Learys' barn.

Answer:

What caused Schaffer to instruct his assistant to strike Box 342, accidentally sending firefighters to the wrong place was:

B. the dark, hazy night and the tall buildings

Explanation:

The passage establishes the cause-and-effect relationship very clearly. According to the author, Shaffer was trying to determine the exact location of the flames he could see in the distance. However, <u>"This wasn't easy because of the distance and tall buildings between him and the flames. In addition, the moonless sky was made even murkier by the swirling, smoky haze."</u> After offering that explanation, the author says Schaffer instructed his assistant to strike Box 342. What we have here is:

- Cause: the night was dark and hazy; there were also tall buildings making it difficult to determine the location;

- Effect: Schaffer mistook the location of the fire and instructed his assistant to strike Box 342.
