Think about the examples of how the federal government took actions to extend or protect the civil rights of marginalized groups.

An executive order creates the ADA: Marginalized group - Individuals with disabilities.
A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges: Marginalized group - LGBTQ+ individuals.
The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women’s rights: Marginalized group - Women.
A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students: Marginalized group - Female college students.
An executive order creates the ADA - This action is matched with the marginalized group of individuals with disabilities.
A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges - This action is matched with the marginalized group of LGBTQ+ individuals.
The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights - This action is matched with the marginalized group of women.
A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students - This action is also matched with the marginalized group of women.
In order to match the correct marginalized group with the corresponding action taken by the federal government to extend or protect their civil rights, we can analyze the options given:
1. "An executive order creates the ADA."
This action refers to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Therefore, the marginalized group in this case would be individuals with disabilities.
2. "A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges."
This action refers to the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Hence, the marginalized group in this case is the LGBTQ+ community.
3. "The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women’s rights."
The Twenty-sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution lowered the voting age to 18, which benefits all citizens, regardless of gender. This response is not correctly matched with a marginalized group.
4. "A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students."
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal funding, including protections for female college students. Therefore, the marginalized group associated with this action would be female college students.
From the given options, the correct matches between the action and marginalized group are:
- An executive order creates the ADA: Individuals with disabilities.
- A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges: LGBTQ+ community.
- A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students: Female college students.
Therefore, the Twenty-sixth Amendment option, which does not align with a marginalized group, would not be the correct match.
