First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of making a perfect cup of coffee. It sets the stage for the details that follow. It does not refer to any previous information, making it independent. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'With', which is a conjunction. Paragraph 3 starts with 'The', which is a definite article and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Finally', which suggests it is not independent. All these reasons disqualify them.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the process of making coffee. It gives the final detail about brewing, which is the last step. This follows the Conclusive Words rule, as it uses 'Finally' to signal the end.
