Which of the following does NOT fit in the passage?
①For at least 3,000 years, a fluctuating proportion of the world’s population has believed that the end of the world is imminent. Scholars dispute its origins, but it seems likely that the distinctive construction of apocalyptic narratives that inflects much environmentalism today began around 1200 B.C., in the thought of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster, or Zarathustra. ②Notions of the world’s gradual decline were widespread in ancient civilizations. ③But Zoroaster bequeathed to Jewish, Christian and later secular models of history a sense of urgency about the demise of the world. From Zealots of Roman Judaea to the Branch Davidians, so many believers have fought and died in fear and hope of impending apocalypse, while some others including Nazis and communists have adopted apocalyptic rhetoric, again with catastrophic results as prophecies of crisis and conflict inexorably fulfil themselves. ④Yet arguably similar rhetoric strategies have provided the green movement with some of its most striking successes. ⑤Eurasians have not always believed that their world will end someday. With this in mind, it is crucial that we consider the past and future role of the apocalyptic narrative in environmental and radical ecological discourse.

글의 흐름에 맞지 않는 문장은 “Eurasians have not always believed that their world will end someday.”이다.
지문은 종말론 서사의 역사가 환경 운동의 수사로 이어진다는 흐름이다. 이 문장은 그 흐름을 끊고, 바로 뒤 “With this in mind”는 앞 문장의 녹색 운동의 성공을 받아야 자연스럽다.
“For at least 3,000 years … the end of the world is imminent”: 종말 믿음의 오랜 역사를 여는 주제문이다.
“Notions of the world’s gradual decline were widespread”: 고대의 점진적 쇠퇴 관념을 제시한다.
“But Zoroaster bequeathed … a sense of urgency”: “But”으로 쇠퇴 관념과 대비되는 긴박감을 제시한다.
“Yet arguably similar rhetoric strategies…”: 앞의 파국적 결과와 대비해 환경 운동으로 논의를 연결한다.
