Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 primarily aimed to end discrimination in public accommodations, employment, and other areas. Let's analyze each option:

• The first option focuses on workplace equality (but the act's scope was broader than just workplace, and gender discrimination in employment was addressed but the main focus was broader anti - discrimination in public spaces and other areas too).
• The second option is about Miranda rights, not the Civil Rights Act.
• The third option: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned discrimination in public spaces (like hotels, restaurants), employment, and more, with a core goal of promoting equality and ending discrimination in public - facing and employment contexts.
• The fourth option is about the Voting Rights Act, not the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

So the statement "promoting equality and banning discrimination in public spaces" best describes the main goal.

Answer:

C. promoting equality and banning discrimination in public spaces (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option being C)
