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 the human digestive system. It gives a broad overview 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 'This process,' which needs context from a previous sentence. Paragraph 3 starts with 'It then travels,' which also needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with 'However,' which shows a contrast and needs a previous idea.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion about the digestive system. It shows the problems that can happen, which is a conclusion to the topic. This follows the Conclusive Words rule.
