the fire on top of the mountain was out. Jack had taken the boys who were supposed to be keeping the fire alight away to hunt, meaning the fire was unattended and there was no smoke for a ship to see and hence the boys be rescued
The fire is the boys' only hope of rescue from the island. When the boys go hunting and instead of minding the fire as Ralph instructed them to do, a ship passes by the island. Had the fire been lit, the people on the ship may have seen the signal and rescued the boys. This is why Ralph is angry; the other boys' disobediance ruined his chance of escaping the island.
Ralph suggests a signal fire, which the boys light on the top of the mountain. The intention is to add green branches to produce smoke to attract the attention of any ship or plane which they might see.
No ! We are not lucky I would like to see Ramona smoke, they would both be great at smoking though that is certain.
Ralph insists that a signal fire must be made so that when his father comes to rescue them on a ship, the men on board will see the smoke and know where to find them. Also, burning things is fun.
Someone notices us
The boys respond with excitement and a sense of adventure at the possibility of rescue when they see smoke in the distance in "Lord of the Flies." They believe it could be a signal fire lit by adults searching for them and rush to investigate.

It implies that most of the boys are following both soccer and basketball.
I think not, they have trouble in parking cars! Not in my opinion.
Ralph said that a ship could see the smoke from up there and rescue them.
Yes but minimize the likelihood by not out driving the distance you can see with excessive speed.
No, smoke from the 9/11 terrorists would not have been visible from outer space. The scale of such an event would not generate enough smoke to be seen at that distance.
A literal response is what you see.

the smoke reflects the light to your eyes then you see the smoke as a handicap for vision
