First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic. It gives a broad overview of the situation in Britain after World War II. It does not refer to any previous information. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "The British government" which uses a definite article and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 3 starts with "Most found jobs" which also uses a definite article. Paragraph 4 starts with "Each year" which is a specific time reference and does not introduce the topic.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion. It summarizes the outcomes of the migration and gives a clear conclusion about the people who came to Britain.
