First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of internships. It gives a clear definition of what an internship is. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. It does not use any words that need prior context, so it stands alone. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not meet the criteria for being independent. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'There are many reasons...' which makes it dependent on prior information. Paragraph 3 starts with 'It may well have to do...' which also needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with 'While this is certainly laughable...' 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 internships. It gives a final thought on the importance of gaining work experience. This follows the rule of Conclusive Words, as it provides a conclusion to the topic.
