>This is a real literacy test
"is", no, at best "was"

I can see already that you are illiterate.

Trivial, 9 got me though.

>Tivial
4, 9, 10, and 11 are wrong

Post solutions then so we can all be outraged.

Where I am from this looks like test from first to second grade in basic school.

>a is a word
>Y and Z
>Louisiana
>cross out 1

Maybe you can do better with part 2.

6 is wrong it asks for only one circle to be engulfed by the other

Complete it then. The user above got 4 questions wrong on the first page alone.

you didn't cross out the word in 3, you drew a line through it.

What the hell does the first question even mean?

>cross out 1
Noticed that just after I read it was wrong, stupid mistake by me though. Was this worded so strangely on purpose?

I suppose the easiest way to get around this test is to not drop out in the fifth grade.

I figured it was something to do with grammar, "a" denotes the number of lines to draw.

I think they want you to draw a line around the "1.".

Looks like you can't vote. Come back in 4 years.

>implying that "1." is part of that sentance

You have graduated grade 5... right?

>Was this worded so strangely on purpose?

The literacy requirement was to filter out slaves and their children, grandchildren and anyone related to them. This would have worked due to the slaves and their childrens' lack of access to education. The strange wording was for those black people with enough education to be able to read.

Poor whites could be caught in this, but iirc there were grandfather clauses that most white people could take advantage of to ignore these bullshit tests.

Btw, a single wrong answer, anywhere and for any reason, was enough to disqualify you from voting. Plus, the testers were biased. Even if you got everything right, if your skin was the wrong color, into the bin your paper goes.

Wrong. This test is from the 60s. There were no slaves.

Former* slaves, children and grandchildren.
