The correct answer is B. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed obstacles like literacy tests for African Americans voting in the South.
To arrive at this answer, we can break down the options provided:
A. Increase cultural segregation of neighbors in the North: This answer choice is not correct as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 did not contribute to an increase in cultural segregation. The act specifically aimed to address racial discrimination in voting, not segregation of neighborhoods.
B. It removed obstacles like literacy tests for African Americans voting in the South: This is the correct answer. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a landmark piece of legislation that prohibited racial discrimination in voting, particularly targeting discriminatory practices that were prevalent in the South, such as literacy tests. By removing these obstacles, it sought to ensure equal access to voting for African Americans.
C. It increased racial inequality in public representation of elected officials: This answer choice is not correct. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to decrease racial inequality in public representation by combating discriminatory voting practices.
D. It decreased voter fraud in national elections by enforcing identification checks: This answer choice is not correct. While the act aimed to protect the voting rights of minority communities, it did not specifically target or reduce voter fraud through enforcing identification checks.
