Answer choices are:

  1. poll workers requiring voters to show a pay stub proving employment
  2. poll workers asking voters to prove home ownership
  3. poll workers having voters read aloud before voting to prove they could read
  4. poll workers creating separate lines for voters based on race

Correct answer choice is:

3. Poll workers having voters read aloud before voting to prove they could read.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 15th Amendment to the Constitution gave African American people the freedom to vote by saying that the "right of residents of the United States to vote shall not be dismissed or digested by the United States or by any state on record of race, appearance, or past state of slavery. During the voting process vote operators having voters read loudly before casting the vote to confirm they could read.
