First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of universal pay. It gives a broad overview of the concept without going into details. 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 'The idea is...' which needs context. Paragraph 3 uses 'Universal pay is a concept...' but it is not general enough to be first. Paragraph 4 starts with 'However,' which shows it is not independent. Paragraph 5 starts with 'However,' too, which also shows it is not independent.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it gives a final opinion on the topic. It shows the critics' view and wraps up the discussion. This follows the rule of Conclusive Words.
