Unfortunately for me, I keep answering La instead of El and my score for the lesson is melting down.
Why is 'La personal hizo' not accepted as the right answer?

Why is 'La personal hizo' not accepted as the right answer?
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Nouns that are plural in English but singular in Spanish, and vice versa (collective nouns)"
Asked 4 years ago
Hola Aleksandre
the gender for the collective noun "personal" is masculine. We are testing this word because it is one of the short list of collective nouns used differently to English. We have an example in the lesson showing its gender:
El personal del hotel trabajó horas extra.
However I will add a note as a reminder to use it with the masculine articles. I hope this helps.
Saludos
Inma

Thank you for your response. I've been misled by Google translator which shows both masculine and feminine gender acceptable.
