Why is bauxite the most common or that aluminum is extracted from selected two correct answers

It is the most important ore of aluminum it can be refined and a single step it contains pure aluminum metal it is located near the surface it can easily be strip-mined it is also used in jewelry as a gym

The two correct answers regarding why bauxite is the most common ore from which aluminum is extracted are:

  1. It is the most important ore of aluminum - Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum and contains a high proportion of aluminum oxides.

  2. It can easily be strip-mined - Bauxite is often found near the surface, making it accessible for strip mining, which is a cost-effective extraction method.

The other statements are incorrect in describing why bauxite is the most common ore for aluminum extraction. For example, it does not contain pure aluminum metal, and while it theoretically could be used in jewelry (due to aluminum's finished form), that is not a relevant point regarding its status as an ore for extraction.
