The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'As bananas require...' which is not independent. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Additionally...' which is a conjunction. Paragraph 4 starts with 'In response...' which also shows a connection to something before it.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the discussion. It shows a solution to the problems mentioned before. The phrase 'In response' indicates that this is the conclusion of the ideas presented. It brings together the earlier points about environmental concerns and the need for better practices.
