First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic. It tells us about the first tank called Little Willie. It does not need any other sentence to understand it. It does not use any words that need prior context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'It' which is a pronoun, so it needs the first sentence for context. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Then' which is a conjunction, so it cannot be first. Paragraph 4 starts with 'They' which is also a pronoun, so it needs prior information.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the topic. It shows the final result of the improvements made to the tanks. It gives a clear conclusion about how tanks can now cross battlefields.
