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.

I)fortune J)evolved K)casual L)severe
M)inherited N)creative O)state [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
