    A welcomed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B administer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C stocking Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D personnel Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘personnel’ is the inappropriate word. It means ‘the people who are employed in a company, organization, or one of the armed forces’. The correct word is ‘personal’, which means ‘relating or belonging to a single or particular person rather than to a group or an organization’. The association has welcomed the decision to administer booster dose to senior citizens and community workers and has called for stocking up on medicines, oxygen and personal protective kits for healthcare workers in hospitals.
