First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the text. It clearly states what a manager's job is. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. It gives a broad overview without going into details. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'In order to accomplish this,' which needs context. Paragraph 3 starts with 'However,' which shows a contrast and needs a previous idea. Paragraph 4 also starts with 'However,' which makes it dependent on earlier information.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the main idea of the text. It gives a final thought on the topic of motivation. This follows the Summary Style rule.
