The correct answers are:

It eliminated the poll tax and it no longer required a literacy test.

The 1965 Voting Rights Act was signed in an effort to defeat local legal restrictions that barred African Americans from practicing their right to vote under the Fifteenth Amendment (1870). The Voting Rights Act prohibited stratagems that excluded African Americans from voting such as poll taxes and literacy tests.
