The first paragraph only.
The inverted pyramid structure is a style of writing commonly used in journalism, where the most important information is presented at the beginning of the article, followed by supporting details in descending order of importance. In this structure, the first paragraph is typically the most essential because it contains the key information or main point of the story. The last paragraph, also known as the conclusion or wrap-up, is also important as it often provides a summary or closing statement.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "First and last paragraph." These two paragraphs are essential to the story as they contain the main point and summary, respectively.
