First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic of the text, which is tardigrades. It gives a broad overview of what tardigrades are and their resilience. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "Despite" which is a conjunction, so it cannot be independent. Paragraph 3 uses "In 2007" which is a specific time reference, not general. Paragraph 4 starts with "Upon" which is also a conjunction. Paragraph 5 uses "Their" which is a pronoun referring back to tardigrades, so it is not independent.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the main idea of the text. It summarizes the importance of tardigrades' ability to revive, which is the main theme of the text. This follows the Summary Style rule.
