First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of measuring the space. It sets the stage for the project without needing any prior information. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that refer to previous ideas. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'After much deliberation,' which shows it is not independent. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Following the selection,' which also needs prior context. Paragraph 4 starts with 'The most enjoyable part,' which refers to a specific part of the process and is not independent.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the whole process. It reflects on the final outcome of the project, which is the enjoyment of organising the books. It brings together the earlier points about measuring, deciding, and designing.
