First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic of the text. It gives a broad overview of the unique starting mechanism of the 1940s Field Marshall tractor diesel engine. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with "Unlike modern tractors" which needs context. Paragraph 3 starts with "For those without matches" which also needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with "But the most remarkable starting method" which shows it is a continuation. Paragraph 5 starts with "By carefully inserting the shell" which also needs prior information.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it describes the final action needed to start the engine. It wraps up the explanation of the starting methods, following the Summary Style rule.
