Explanation:

For Question 30 (assuming the group is Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction), the KKK aimed to restore white supremacy, which involved undermining the social restructuring (like Black political and social gains) of the South. Option A is incorrect as they opposed Black advancement; Option C: while they used violence, their main focus wasn't just law and order (it was white supremacy); Option D is opposite as they opposed civil rights for Blacks. So the answer is B.

For Question 31, white legislators justified removing Black legislators by claiming election results were due to improper means (like fraud or ineligible voters, though the options' wording: likely the idea that elections were invalid due to irregularities, but among the options, the one about claiming African Americans had the right to vote but not to hold office (Option B) aligns with their view of limiting Black political power, or if an option about election fraud (but given the visible options, let's assume the correct one is the one about claiming Black people could vote but not hold office, or the election fraud one. However, based on Reconstruction history, white legislators often claimed that Black legislators were not legitimate, sometimes using the argument that the elections were flawed (e.g., due to federal interference or Black "intimidation" of white voters, but the option about "recent election results were caused by improper fraud" (assuming a typo, like "fraud") or the one about Black people having vote but not office. But to proceed, let's address Question 30 first as it's clearer.

Answer:

Question 30: B. opposing the social restructuring of the South
Question 31: (Assuming the correct option is the one about claiming African Americans had the right to vote but not to hold office, or election fraud; based on Reconstruction context, the most probable is the option claiming election results were due to improper methods (e.g., the one with "recent election results were caused by improper fraud" if that's the option, or B. They claimed that African Americans had the right to vote but not to hold office). However, due to partial text, but for Question 30, the answer is B.
