During the bourbon era, the purpose of literacy tests was to limit the access of giving votes.

Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>Who were Bourbons?</h3>

Bourbons were the politicians of southern America that opposed the transformation initiated in the Reconstruction era and after the end of the Civil war.

The literacy tests were the medium used by the bourbons to analyze the ability of reading and writing of the voters. But in an actual sense, it was the barrier that had been used for discriminating the black people called African Americans and the poorer white people.

Therefore, the access to voting rights was restricted by initiating the literacy tests in the era of Bourbons.

We will follow this strategy: we will find the value of x using a theorem about the sum of interior angles of any polygon, and then we will compute 2x to find A.

The theorem states that the sum of the interior angles of <em>any</em> polygon with $n$ sides is $(n-2)\times 180^\circ$

Your polygon has seven sides (so $n=7$ ), and the sum of the interior angles is

$10x + 2(2x) + 4(4x) = 10x + 4x + 16x = 30x$

So, using the theorem, we know that

$30x = (7-2)\times 180= 5\times 180 \iff x = \cfrac{5\times 180}{30} = 5 \times 6 = 30$ .

Since $x = 30$ and $A = 2x$ , we have $A = 2\cdot 30 = 60$

Developed in central Europe in the mid-fifteenth century, from metal and ink technologies which had evolved across Eurasia, movable type allowed the rapid dissemination of multiple copies of any written work.
