For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'One group,' which needs context. Paragraph 3 uses 'this decline,' which refers back to something not yet mentioned. Paragraph 4 starts with 'After repeated testing,' which needs prior information. Paragraph 5 begins with 'Initially,' which also needs context.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion. It gives a summary of the initial performance of both groups before the study results. It reflects the overall theme of the study.
