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.
