First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first because it introduces a general idea about how men in the West see things. It does not need other sentences to understand it. It sets the stage for the topic of capitalism and its effects. 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 'In capitalism,' which needs context. Paragraph 3 uses 'men' which refers back to the first paragraph. Paragraph 4 talks about 'deprivations' without explaining what they are first. Paragraph 5 mentions 'the US' which assumes prior knowledge.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last because it summarizes the effects of the previous ideas. It gives specific examples of problems in society, which wraps up the discussion about capitalism and its impact.

Paragraph pairs:

  • Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects to Paragraph 1 because it continues the idea of how society works. The phrase 'In capitalism' shows a logical order from the general view of men to a specific economic system.
  • Pair 2 (Paragraph 2 → Paragraph 3): Paragraph 3 follows Paragraph 2 because it explains what happens in capitalism. The word 'domination' relates to the wealth mentioned before, showing a cause and effect relationship.
  • Pair 3 (Paragraph 3 → Paragraph 4): Paragraph 4 connects to Paragraph 3 because it talks about the effects of that domination. The word 'resultant' shows that the deprivations come from the previous ideas, marking a logical order.
  • Pair 4 (Paragraph 4 → Paragraph 5): Paragraph 5 connects to Paragraph 4 because it gives specific examples of the deprivations mentioned. The phrase 'In the US' shows a specific case of the general idea of deprivations.
