the most direct effect of poll taxes and literacy tests on african americans was to
block their educational opportunities
limit their access to public facilities
prevent them from voting
deny them economic advancements

Explanation:

Poll taxes (a tax one had to pay to vote) and literacy tests (tests to assess reading ability for voting) were specifically designed to disenfranchise African - Americans. African - Americans, due to historical oppression (like slavery which prohibited education), often could not afford poll taxes or pass literacy tests. These measures were not directly about education (as they were for voting, not school access), not about public facilities (like parks or transportation in a general sense), and not about economic advancement (like job opportunities or business ownership) in the most direct way. Their main target was the right to vote.

Answer:

prevent them from voting
