The answer is <u>a. It is not necessary to read or write English to be able to vote.</u>

The passage aims to secure the voting rights of people regardless of their "ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter in the English language", by prohibiting the states to put conditions to people to exercise their right to vote.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 achieved to overcome legal barriers not only at the state level but also to the local level, in the United States.

The correct answer is A.

This is evident from the part that says "it is necessary to prohibit states from conditioning the right to vote of such persons on ability to read, write,...." In this context, prohibit means to stop someone from doing something. In this case, the federal government is stopping the states from having voting qualifications that include the ability to read, write, or interpret English.

This law was passed in part due to the southern state's history of making African-Americans take literacy tests in order to vote.
