answer explanation: 

<p style="">When we are talking about an event, the conference happening, we use the phrase "take place." or the verb "host".<br></p><p style="">When we use the phrase "take place", the subject is the event. For example:</p><p style=""><strong>The conference will take place next month.</strong></p><p style="">When we use the verb "host", the subject is usually people or an organization. For example:&nbsp;</p><p style=""><strong>The company will host a conference next month.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p style="">Alternatively, we can use the passive voice. For example:</p><p style=""><strong>The conference will be held next month.</strong></p><p style="">Therefore,&nbsp;the correct answer here is&nbsp;<strong>(B) take place</strong>.</p>
