Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment granted African American men the right to vote. In the South, white supremacists used literacy tests, poll taxes, and other methods to disenfranchise Black voters. Literacy tests (having voters read aloud to prove literacy) were a common tactic to prevent Black voters (who were often denied education under slavery and segregation) from voting. The other options (pay stub, home ownership, separate lines) were not the primary methods used to disenfranchise voters post - Fifteenth Amendment compared to literacy tests.
