Hi, I've just come across the following exercise in the New TOEIC prep book by Barron's:

What is this announcement for?
A) Schoolteachers.
B) Schoolchildren.
C) Volunteer tutors.
D) Businesspeople.

Why is the question word 'what' and not 'who' or 'whom'?

Thanks,
Torsten

Yes, the question should say "who" or "whom". This is obviously part of a long tradition of bad mistakes in English test prep books.
