다음 글의 흐름상 어색한 문장은?People often wonder whether we could harvest electrical power
from lightning. ① On the face of it, it makes sense; after all,
lightning is electricity, and there is indeed a substantial amount
of power in a lightning strike. ② A typical lightning strike
delivers enough energy to power a residential house for about
two days. ③ That means that even the Empire State Building,
which is struck by lightning about 100 times a year, wouldn’t
be able to keep a house running all year round on lightning
power alone. ④ Wind farms are one of the major generators
of electricity. Even in regions with a lot of lightning, the
power delivered to the ground by sunlight outweighs the power
delivered by lightning by a factor of a million. Generating
power from lightning is like building a wind farm whose
blades are turned by a tornado: impractical.

글은 번개에서 전력을 얻는 것이 비현실적이라는 내용인데, 이 문장은 풍력 발전 단지가 주요 발전원이라는 별개의 사실이라 번개의 전력량을 따지는 흐름을 끊는다.
- “On the face of it, it makes sense; …”는 번개가 전기이니 그럴듯해 보인다며 글의 화제를 여는 문장으로 자연스럽다.
- “A typical lightning strike delivers enough energy …”는 번개 한 번의 에너지를 가정집 약 이틀분으로 구체화해 자연스럽다.
- “That means that even the Empire State Building, …”은 앞의 수치에서 연간 전력으로도 부족하다는 결론을 끌어내 자연스럽다.
