Remember that apostrophes are used to indicate possession or form contractions. "Bill's" and
"company's" both need apostrophes to demonstrate possession of the company and the
anniversary, respectively. Conversely, "coworkers" and "employees" are simply plural nouns and
not possessive in this instance, meaning no apostrophe is needed. The correct answer is "Bill's
company was hosting a picnic in the park for employees and their families. All of his coworkers
would be there to celebrate the company's 10th anniversary."
