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 internationally.

选项
答案
O
解析
此处应为定语成分修饰legislator,可为名词、形容词或分词。空格后的legislator(立法者)通常只有联邦的立法者或州、市的立法者之分,与此语义联系最紧密的是state。
