Phobias are fears that are exaggerated and completely out of proportion to any real danger that is inherent in a situation. Some
people will stubbornly refuse to enter an elevator. Of course, the elevator could shut down, leaving you stranded until repairs are made, or a worn cable could break, allowing the elevator to fall precipitately past several floors.

It gives an example of what is stated in sentence 1 It tells an effect of something mentioned in sentence 1 It claifies the information in sentence 1 It contradicts sentence 1
