according to the article, literacy tests were often used prior to 1965 to

prevent african - americans from registering to vote
justify segregation in public schools
establish the \separate but equal\ doctrine.
raise awareness about poverty among african - americans.

Explanation:

Before 1965, literacy tests were a tool of voter suppression, particularly targeting African - Americans. The "separate but equal" doctrine (Plessy v. Ferguson) and justifying school segregation were not directly related to literacy tests for voting. Raising awareness about poverty was not the purpose of literacy tests. So the correct reason for using literacy tests was to prevent African - Americans from registering to vote.

Answer:

A. prevent African - Americans from registering to vote
