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.

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.
