First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic. It talks about Vijay Govindarajan and Christian Sarkar writing a blog. This is a clear start to the discussion. It does not use any words that need prior context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "Of course," which is a conjunction. This means it cannot be the first sentence. Paragraph 3 starts with a question, which does not introduce the topic. Paragraph 4 starts with "Nonetheless," which is also a conjunction. This means it cannot be the first sentence.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion. It gives a challenge, which is a strong ending. It shows the main idea of the blog and concludes the thoughts presented.

Paragraph pairs:

• Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects to Paragraph 1 because it continues the idea of the blog entry. It uses the connector "Of course," to show that it is related to the previous thought. This shows a logical order.
• Pair 2 (Paragraph 2 → Paragraph 3): Paragraph 3 connects to Paragraph 2 because it asks a question about the idea presented. This shows a logical order as it follows the thought of the experiment with a question about its possibility.
• Pair 3 (Paragraph 3 → Paragraph 4): Paragraph 4 connects to Paragraph 3 because it responds to the question. It gives a challenge related to the idea of creating a $300 house. The word "Nonetheless" shows that it is still related to the previous thought.
