First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the text. It talks about the decrease in size of lakes due to climate change. This is a general statement that sets the stage for the following paragraphs. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that refer to previous information. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not meet the criteria for being independent. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with "The surface area" which uses the definite article "the". This means it refers to something already known. Paragraph 3 starts with "In this case" which suggests it needs more context. Paragraph 4 starts with "If the lake" which also needs prior information. Paragraph 5 starts with "Hopefully" which is not a general statement.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the ideas presented in the text. It suggests a hopeful solution to the problems discussed earlier. It uses the word "hopefully" which indicates a conclusion or final thought.
