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.

Correct Answer :
transition too as an opportunity to
Solution :
The correct answer is transition too as an opportunity to.
Step-by-step Explanation:
1. Identify the errors in the original highlighted phrase (72):
The original sentence reads: "India can leverage this transition to as an opportunity too (72) become a global leader..."
- Error 1: The phrase "opportunity too become" is grammatically incorrect. The verb "become" is in its base form, requiring the infinitive particle "to" (i.e., "to become") rather than the adverb "too".
- Error 2: In the sequence "transition to as", the preposition "to" is grammatically redundant and incorrect when immediately followed by "as".
2. Correcting the errors:
- We need to replace the second "too" with "to" so it correctly forms the infinitive "to become".
- We need to replace the preposition "to" after "transition" with the adverb "too" (meaning "also" or "as well") to convey the correct contextual meaning: "India can leverage this transition, also, as an opportunity to...".
3. Final Structure:
By substituting the incorrect phrase with "transition too as an opportunity to", the sentence becomes grammatically correct and contextually meaningful:
"India can leverage this transition too as an opportunity to become a global leader in the production of clean appliances."
