First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of advertising. It gives a broad overview of what advertising does without going into details. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "Most advertising" which is not independent because it refers to advertising without introducing it. Paragraph 3 starts with "People also advertise" which uses a pronoun that refers back to advertising. Paragraph 4 starts with "Advertising brings" but it is not the first because it is already mentioned in Paragraph 1.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion about advertising. It gives final examples of how people advertise, which brings together the earlier points. This follows the Summary Style rule.
