The correct response is:
Cuba is located 90 miles from the coast of Florida and mid-range communist missiles could reach U.S. cities from there.
This location was significant during the Cuban Missile Crisis because it placed Soviet missiles within striking distance of the continental United States, particularly major cities and military installations along the eastern seaboard. This proximity heightened tensions and the potential for a nuclear confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
