Model Answer

Aluminium smelting requires a regular supply of electricity because the electrolytic process used to smelt bauxite is highly power-intensive, making electricity a prime factor for its location.

Source: Aluminium Smelting, Chapter 6

Explanation

The passage directly states that "regular supply of electricity and an assured source of raw material at minimum cost are the two prime factors for location of the industry." The examiner expects you to link electricity to the smelting/electrolytic process. One crisp sentence is sufficient for 1 mark.
