Explanation:

The term "context clues" refers to the information the words that surround a technical or unknown word provide about its meaning. This implies, by understanding the context of a word it is possible to determine the meaning of the unknown word.

In the case presented, in which the unknown word is "Enumerators" the text in which it appears is about Census, which is the process of gathering information about the population of a country or area including their age, education, occupation, etc. Because of this, the text explains the Census Bureau, which is the institution in charge of gathering and processing the data, cannot make changes on the information of the "Enumerators". Considering the unknown word "Enumerator" is related to other such as "Census" and "the data they collected" that work as context clues about the meaning of this word it can be concluded in this context this word means "people who gather census information" because the text explains the data gathered by the enumerators during the census cannot be changed.
