Question 11 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics B

Before she is allowed to vote, Alicia is required to answer questions about her state’s constitution in order to prove her knowledge. This form of voting discrimination is __________.

Answer
A
an instance of voting fraud
B
a literacy test
C
a poll tax
D
a case of voter impersonation

Explanation

Requiring Alicia to answer questions to prove her knowledge is a literacy test. Such tests were used to restrict voting, often unfairly, by making voters demonstrate reading or civic knowledge before registering or voting. A poll tax requires payment, while voting fraud and voter impersonation involve dishonest interference with ballots or voters.
