First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic. It tells us that the Wright brothers' flight is very important. This is a general statement that does not need other sentences for context. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that refer to previous ideas. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'In 1903,' which needs more context. Paragraph 3 uses 'this invention,' which refers back to something not yet mentioned. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Without the Wright flyer,' which also needs prior context.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion. It gives specific examples of how the Wright flyer has changed our lives. It shows the overall impact of the invention, which is a good way to end the text.
