Quote:

1.The cost of transport is a major expense for an industry. Hence factory location is an important consideration.
2.An astrologer was brought in to provide solution to the bad luck, hence the shrine.

I don't know what 'hence' in #2 means while I think that the word 'hence' in quotation #1 means 'therefore'.
Could you tell me what words can 'hence' in #2 be replaced with?

Thanks.

Hence means: for this reason; as a consequence. So you can replace hence with either phrase.
