Question

literacy tests were banned by the fifteenth amendment. the twenty - fourth amendment. the civil rights act of 1964. the voting rights act of 1965.

Explanation:

Literacy tests were discriminatory tools used to disenfranchise Black voters in the U.S. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 specifically targeted and banned such discriminatory voting practices, including literacy tests, across the country. The 15th Amendment prohibited voting discrimination based on race but did not address literacy tests directly. The 24th Amendment banned poll taxes, not literacy tests. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 focused on broader civil rights in public accommodations and employment, not voting tests.

Answer:

the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
