    Answer: absorb/re-emit/sense

    Explanation:

    In this second sentence all three verbs do not agree with its subject.

    Cheaper than concrete or tarmac but just as durable, the new cycling paths absorbs light and re-emits it when they senses that it is required.

    The subject is the new cycling paths. This is a plural subject. But the verbs

    absorbs, re-emits and senses are conjugated in the 3rd person singular of the Simple Present tense. They should not have the s, so the correct sentence is:

    Cheaper than concrete or tarmac but just as durable, the new cycling paths absorb light and re-emit it when they sense that it is required.
