First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic of advertisements. It gives a broad overview of what advertisements do. 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 'It is hardly possible', which is not independent. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Supposing you wanted', which also needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Lots of people pretend', which is not a general statement.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the discussion about advertisements. It gives a strong conclusion about how we cannot avoid them. This follows the Conclusive Words rule.
