“All of those things were in this spacious room, though each was slightly different from those in his own dwelling. The fabrics on the upholstered chairs and sofa were slightly thicker and more luxurious; the table legs were not straight like those at home, but slender and curved, with a small carved decoration at the foot. The bed, in an alcove at the far end of the room, was draped with a splendid cloth embroidered over its entire surface with intricate designs. But the most conspicuous difference was the books…. He had never known that other books existed. But this room’s walls were completely covered by bookcases, filled, which reached to the ceiling.

What does the underlined sentence do for the paragraph below?

Learning how to handle chemicals safely and properly in a science lab is an important skill. You can learn this skill in five steps. First, wear proper eye protection and protective clothing such as aprons or lab coats. The reason you do this is to protect your eyes and skin from hazardous chemicals that could spill or splash. Second, you must consider every chemical dangerous. This is important because every chemical should be handled with caution using proper safety measures. Next, remember never to taste, touch, or smell any chemical or inhale fumes unless specifically told to do so by the teacher. Follow laboratory protocols exactly, and use only the chemicals and amounts that are required. As a final step, clean up and discard chemicals only as instructed by the teacher. This will ensure that chemicals are stored or disposed of properly and safely. Now that you know how to handle chemicals properly in a science lab, you will be able to do this safely and easily if such a need arises.
