It does not use any specific details or references to other sentences. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'These', which is a pronoun that refers back to street performers, so it cannot be first. Paragraph 3 starts with 'According to', which suggests it needs more context. Paragraph 4 starts with 'The data', which also needs prior information. Paragraph 5 starts with 'Overall', which indicates it is summarizing and cannot be first.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the main ideas of the text. It uses the word 'Overall', which shows it is concluding the discussion about street performers.
