Born in New Mexico in 1887, Hilton was 19 when his parents began renting out rooms in their home.

In 1919, after Hilton’s father died, a friend suggested he go to Texas to make his【C4】_____. Hilton ended up in Cisco; when his bank deal there【C5】_____, he headed to a nearby hotel, the Mobley. It【C6】_____to oil-field workers, so its 40 rooms turned over every eight hours. A week later, Hilton owned it. He soon acquired more hotels—and started to build new ones. His first, the Dallas Hilton, opened in 1925. By the late 1940s, Hilton’s list included the Town House in Beverly Hills and Chicago’s Palmer House, as well as【C7】_____nightclubs featuring A-list stars. He also expanded【C8】_____. And in 1949, he bought the "greatest of them all": New York City’s magnificent Waldorf-Astoria.

选项
答案
K
解析
此处应为定语成分,可填形容词或分词。第1段的内容表明康拉德·希尔顿本想成为银行家,但后来从购买廉价酒店开始建立了他的酒店王国,第2句开头的Instead表明第1句和第2句的内容形成对比,强调康拉德·希尔顿成为酒店大亨是“偶然的”,因此,他购买廉价酒店也是出于一次“偶然的”机会,由此可见。casual最符合上下文的语义。
