First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of creating a functional home office. It sets the stage for what is to come without needing any prior context. It is a general statement that does not refer to any 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 'Researching' which is not a general statement. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Deciding' which also does not stand alone. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Organising' and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 5 starts with 'Finally' which indicates it is not the first sentence.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the ideas about creating a functional home office. It uses the word 'Finally' which signals that this is the concluding step in the process.

• Pair 4 (Paragraph 4 → Paragraph 5): This pair connects because after organising the workspace, the last step is to add personal touches. The word 'Finally' shows that this is the last step in the process.
