Answer:

The first one is correct.

Explanation:

When you write the name of one city, you put a comma inbetween the city and the state names.

Ex: Durango, Colorado

When you list multiple cities in multiple different states, you need to put semicolons in between them. When you don't do this it looks like you are just listing states and cities separately. The last option is a perfect example of this. If you read it out loud, it just doesn't sound right. Ex: Durango, Colorado, Las Vegas, Nevada. It sounds as if you were reading a list of names off the class roster.

When you add semicolons, it clarifies a series and indicates two closely related sentences. The first answer does this correctly, so the first answer is the correct one.

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, "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." 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.
