Question

Use context to determine the meaning of the word stewards and tell how you found it. Paragraph: Meanwhile, down below in the First Class dining saloon on D Deck, four other
members of the Titanic's crew were sitting around one of the tables. The last
diner had long since departed, and now the big white Jacobean room was
empty except for this single group. They were dining-saloon stewards,
indulging in the time-honored pastime of all stewards off duty-they were
gossiping about their passengers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Stewards were kitchen staff.

Explanation:

On ships, stewards were typically the staff to prepare and serve meals to passengers. You can infer this by the fact they are the only group remaining in the dining area and are implied to be ship staff by the statement "...they were gossiping about their passengers."
