看答案
farewell
said a warm farewell to someone 表示向某人溫馨道別。a 要搭配單數名詞，故不能用複數 farewells；farewell's 與 farewells' 是所有格，本句沒有要表達的所屬關係，也沒有可省略的所屬事物。
同義改寫
Before leaving the branch, Leo said farewell to his colleagues. → Before leaving the branch, Leo said goodbye to his colleagues.
said farewell 與 said goodbye 在此都表示向同事道別；farewell 的語氣較正式。
The team arranged a farewell party for their departing supervisor. → The team arranged a party to say goodbye to their departing supervisor.
farewell party 的目的就是為即將離開的人送別，替換句明確說出相同目的。
