the voting rights act ended\npoll taxes.\nliteracy tests.\nvoter segregation.\ngender discrimination.

Answer:

B. literacy tests.

Brief Explanations:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African - Americans from exercising their right to vote under the 15th Amendment. Literacy tests were one such barrier that the act helped end. Poll taxes were ended by the 24th Amendment. Voter segregation was not directly ended by the Voting Rights Act in the way literacy tests were. Gender discrimination in voting was more related to the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote.
