First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the research. It sets up the context for the study without needing any prior information. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not independent. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'Participants' which refers back to the study. Paragraph 3 starts with 'The high-fiber diet group' which uses a definite article and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Moreover,' which is a conjunction. Paragraph 5 starts with 'These results' which also refers back to previous information.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the main findings of the research. It gives a clear conclusion about the effectiveness of the high-fiber diet. This follows the Conclusive Words rule.

Paragraph pairs:

• Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects to Paragraph 1 because it continues the thought of the experiment. The phrase 'Participants were assigned' shows the next step in the research process. This follows the Logical Order rule.
• Pair 2 (Paragraph 2 → Paragraph 3): Paragraph 3 connects to Paragraph 2 because it describes the results of the assignment. The phrase 'The high-fiber diet group' shows what happened next. This follows the Logical Order rule.
• Pair 3 (Paragraph 3 → Paragraph 4): Paragraph 4 connects to Paragraph 3 because it adds more information about the high-fiber diet group. The word 'Moreover' shows that it is giving additional results. This follows the Connector Strategy.
• Pair 4 (Paragraph 4 → Paragraph 5): Paragraph 5 connects to Paragraph 4 because it summarizes the findings. The phrase 'These results suggested' refers back to the information given in the previous paragraphs. This follows the Topic Example rule.
