Question
In each sentence below four words have been printed in
bold which are numbered (1), (2), (3) and (4) One of these words may be misspelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the wrongly spelt or inappropriate word. The number of that word is the answer. If all the words are correctly spelt and are appropriate the answer is (5) i.e. ‘All correct.' The investigation into the corruption (1)/ case revealed that several high-ranking officials were involved in a series of fraudulent (2)/ transactions, which were intended (3)/ to divert public funds for personnel (4)/ profit. All correct (5)Solution
The word "personnel" is incorrect in this context. The correct word should be "personal", as it refers to individual or private matters, which fits the context of diverting public funds for one's own benefit. "Personnel" refers to the people employed by an organization, which doesn't make sense in this context.
