Explanation:

The problem is about word study, specifically suffixes and choosing the correct word for each sentence. Let's analyze sentence 1: "The [blank] was held in the new convention center." The options are "conference" and "confer". "Conference" is a noun referring to a meeting, which fits the context of being held in a convention center. "Confer" is a verb meaning to discuss, so it doesn't fit here.

Answer:

1. conference
