Fewer employs would be the correct terminology since you are not describing what is less of the employs.
Based on the definition of appositive, this is a noun or noun phrase that is used to rename the another noun beside it. Basing on the given sentence above, I believe that it does not have an appositive. The nouns are Joe and Tulips, but no other noun that renames either of the two.
Hope this helps bro.
"<span>C. Is eighty-nine the best score so far?" is the only sentence in which the number is written correctly. In general, numbers in this way should have a hyphen between two different ones. </span>
