Paragraph 3 starts with 'The historic book,' which uses the definite article 'the' and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 4 starts with 'According to legend,' which is also a conjunction.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last because it wraps up the story of Copernicus. It gives a final detail about his life and the book. This follows the rule of Conclusive Words.
