First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the text, which is Namibia. It gives a broad overview of the country 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, 'One of the world's driest areas...' starts with a specific detail and needs context. 'For its size, Namibia has few people...' also needs context about Namibia. 'But the most valuable products...' refers to products without introducing them first. 'White people make up ten per cent...' talks about a specific group without introducing Namibia.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion about Namibia's population and their control over industries. It provides a conclusion to the information presented in the previous paragraphs.
