Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to eliminate barriers to minority voting. Literacy tests were a common tool to disenfranchise minorities; the Act ended this requirement, enabling more minorities to vote. Option a is wrong (intimidation was addressed, and the Act increased voting). Option c is wrong (it ended, not established, literacy tests). Option d is wrong (the Civil Rights Movement preceded the Act).

Answer:

b. more minorities voting because it ended the literacy test requirement
