Enhancing the efficiency of electricity use are an important complement (68) to decarbonizing the electricity supply. Growing urbanization and uptake of electricity services offer a good opportunity to (69) shape energy consumption within buildings through proactive measures. Cooling needs are expected to increase rapid with rising (70) incomes and temperatures. Air conditioners, fans and refrigerators together consume about 60% of the electricity in households. Today, the average fan sold in the market consumes more than twice (71) what an efficient fan does, and an average refrigerator is about 35% more. India can leverage this transition to as an opportunity too (72) become a global leader in the production of clean appliances.

The correct answer is No replacement required.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the Subject of the Sentence:
Let us examine the sentence containing the highlighted phrase (71):
"Today, the average fan sold in the market consumes more than twice (71) what an efficient fan does..."
Here, the subject of the clause is "the average fan". The phrase "sold in the market" is a past participle phrase acting as an adjective to modify "the average fan". Since "the average fan" is singular, it requires a singular verb to maintain subject-verb agreement.

2. Check Verb Agreement and Tense:
The verb used in the highlighted phrase is "consumes", which is singular and in the present tense. This correctly matches the singular subject "the average fan". The present tense is also appropriate because the sentence describes a general, ongoing fact in the present day (indicated by the word "Today" and the auxiliary verb "does" later in the sentence).

3. Evaluate the Alternatives:

• "market consume more than twice": Incorrect because "consume" is a plural verb, which violates subject-verb agreement with the singular subject "the average fan".
• "market consumes much than twice": Incorrect because the comparative construction "much than" is grammatically incorrect in this context; it must be "more than".
• "market consumed more than twice": Incorrect because the past tense "consumed" is inconsistent with the present-day context established by "Today" and "does".
• "market consume even than twice": Incorrect due to both the plural verb "consume" and the ungrammatical phrasing "even than".

Conclusion:
The original phrase is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate. Therefore, no replacement is required.
