First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic. It tells us what Granta is. It does not need other sentences to understand it. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that need prior context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "The first founders" which uses a definite article and needs prior context. Paragraph 3 starts with "I-Intil now" which is not general and needs more context. Paragraph 4 starts with "In addition" which shows it is adding to something else and cannot be first.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the achievements of Granta. It gives a final list of important authors and prizes. This shows the overall success of Granta.
