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 discovery of coffee. It does not need any other sentence for context. It gives a broad overview of the story without going into details. 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 'While', which is a conjunction. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Upon', which also makes it dependent. Paragraph 4 uses 'Kaldi', which refers back to the herdsman in Paragraph 1, and Paragraph 5 starts with 'They', which refers to the monks mentioned in Paragraph 4.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the story. It explains the final result of Kaldi's actions and how coffee was made. The phrase 'hence the birth of coffee' shows that this is the conclusion of the story.
