Answer choices are:

  2. support for voting rights decreased.
  3. support for voting rights increased.
  4. the Twenty-Fourth Amendment passed.

Correct answer is:

3. Support for voting rights increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

On March 17, 1965, also as the Selma-to-Montgomery marchers protested for the freedom to carry out their rally, President Lyndon Johnson petitioned a collective assembly of Congress, asking for federal polling rights legislation to preserve African Americans from restrictions that stopped them from voting.

support for voting rights increased

The historic march, and the participation of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s in it, raised awareness of the difficulties faced by black voters, and the need for a national Voting Rights Act which boosted the efforts of the civil rights movement
