First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic, which is the comet moth. It gives a broad overview of the moth's beauty and significance. It does not use any pronouns or definite articles that refer to previous information. 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 'Yet,' which is a conjunction. Paragraph 3 starts with 'According to,' which also indicates it is not independent. Paragraph 4 uses 'its,' which refers back to the moth, and Paragraph 5 starts with 'Yet,' which is again a conjunction.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion about the comet moth. It summarizes the main idea that despite its short life, the moth has a strong impact on people. It uses conclusive words like 'indelible mark' to show that it is the final thought.
