L'anniversaire is MASCULINE. It looks feminine, but it ain't.

My husband (who has been teaching himself French for two years) says le is masculine but la is feminine. Now, your phrase has an apostrophe after 'l' so there's no telling whether that's meant to be masculine or feminine! However, anniversaire is masculine. Perhaps the context of the sentence would give the vital clue?
(Good luck with the homework!)

It's "un anniversaire". So it's masculine.
Tip: when you learn a new word, always learn with the prnoun "un" or "une" before so that you'll always know if it's masculine or feminine. When I learnt German, I always did did that, it makes things easier.
Just look it up in the dictionary (plenty online dictionaries, now): it will tell you which gender it is. Be careful cos some words have two genders, but it's unusual, and they are mostly for ideas, not "things"
