... discourage African Americans from voting.

Poll taxes means you have to pay a tax before allowed to vote.  That's a way of preventing poor persons (like blacks in the South) from voting.

In addition to poll taxes, other measures were also used to block blacks from participating in the voting process. For instance, literacy tests would require persons to pass certain standards of reading and writing in order to qualify for voting.  These tests were aimed at blacks, who had not had access to the same education as whites.

The Mosque of Selim II demonstrates the sultan's ability to approve
kherson [118]

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

The Mosque of Selim II demonstrates the Sultan's ability to approve the interior organisation of a religious space.

Explanation:

The mosques' placement was compared by Gülru Necipoğlu, a leading Ottoman art historian, to that of a church’s altar. She stated that while the innovation on the interior disrupts the space below the dome, it indicated the Chief Architects' interest in outdoing Christian architecture.

The chief architect - Koca Mi'mâr Sinân Âğâ and also engineer provided his services to the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Selim II, and Murad III.

Of course, it is reasonable to expect that such a huge historically significant project will not take off without the express ratification of the Selim.

Cheers!
