AnswerClick to flip back
A
personal
💡 Explanation:
In a job context, 'personnel' refers to staff/employees (the department), while 'personal' means private/individual. The sentence is making a point that addressing your application to the wrong type of manager (personnel vs personal) would be inappropriate for an English professor position. This tests a commonly confused word pair.
