Which of the following does NOT fit in the passage?
Fear of flying, or aviophobia, is an anxiety disorder. About 40% of the general population reports some fear of flying, and 2.5% has what is classified as a clinical phobia, one in which a person avoids flying or does so with significant distress. ①Like other situational phobias, the fear is disproportionate to the danger posed. Commercial air travel in the United States is extremely safe. ②A person who took a 500-mile flight every day for a year would have a fatality risk of 1 in 85,000, according to an analysis by Ian Savage, associate chair of the Economics Department at Northwestern University. In contrast, highway travel accounts for 94.4% of national transportation fatalities. ③Little is known about what keeps people afraid even after exposure to successful flights. But for many, statistics are not enough to quell phobias. ④The Anxiety and Depression Association of America suggests eight steps to help identify triggers and defuse them. Martin Seif, a clinical psychologist who wrote the steps, identifies the variety of conditions that may comprise the phobia. Panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder are among them. For some, breathing exercises, anti-anxiety medication and cognitive behavioral therapy work. ⑤But the strategies do not work for everyone.

글의 흐름에 맞지 않는 문장은 “Little is known about what keeps people afraid ...”이다.

앞은 항공이 안전하다는 통계를 제시하고, 바로 뒤 “But for many, statistics are not enough”(그러나 많은 이에게 통계만으로는 부족하다)가 그 통계를 받는다. 공포의 지속 원인을 모른다는 문장은 이 연결을 끊는다.

  • “Like other situational phobias ...”: 공포가 위험에 비해 과도하다는 설명으로 항공 안전 논의를 연다.
  • “A person who took a 500-mile flight ...”: 항공이 매우 안전하다는 말을 수치로 뒷받침한다.
  • “The Anxiety and Depression Association of America suggests ...”: 통계로 부족한 사람을 위한 대처법으로 이어진다.
  • “But the strategies do not work for everyone”: 앞서 나온 호흡법·약물·인지행동치료의 한계를 짚으며 글을 맺는다.
