    Solution

    2- If ‘either’ is used, there should be another clause with ‘or’. Otherwise, the preposition ‘of’ should be added. It should be ‘either of the three’. 3- the preposition ‘at’ should be changed to ‘in’. All the waste are currently dumped on either of the three landfill sites present in Delhi, posing environmental and health hazard for the surrounding localities.
