You have to identify which pair among the given alternatives represents the parts that contain those errors. If none of the parts has any error, then mark option 5, i.e., ‘No error’ as your answer.

    B 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 and 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 and 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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.
