First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of food waste. It gives a broad overview of the issue and its impacts. 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 "Moreover," which is a conjunction. This means it needs more context. Paragraph 3 starts with "In response," which also needs prior information. Paragraph 4 does not introduce a new topic but builds on the idea of food waste. Therefore, they do not qualify as the first sentence.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion. It shows the importance of the topic and gives a final thought on food waste. This follows the Conclusive Words rule.
