Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: It's central location (1)/ makes the conference venue (2)/ convenient for delegates (3)/ travelling from different cities. (4)/
(1)
The error is in part (1), 'It's central location'. Here a possessive determiner is needed to mean 'the location belonging to it', which is 'its' (no apostrophe).
'It's' is the contraction of 'it is' or 'it has', so 'It's central location makes...' would wrongly read as 'It is central location makes...', which is ungrammatical.
The correct form is 'Its central location makes the conference venue convenient...'. Parts (2), (3) and (4) are grammatically correct as written.
Hence, the part containing the error is (1).
