First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic, which is the Southern Pike fish. It gives a broad overview of what the text will be about. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with "This enormous hungry fish" which uses a pronoun and needs context. Paragraph 3 starts with "As it kills" which also uses a pronoun. Paragraph 4 starts with "As a result" which is a transitional phrase. All these reasons make them not independent.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the main ideas. It shows the final outcome of the Southern Pike's actions on the environment. This follows the rule of Conclusive Words.
