Correct answer: "More House Democrats shifted from opposing to favoring the law."

Explanation: overall support for the civil‑rights bills increased between 1957 and 1965. The clearest change is among House Democrats: Yes votes rose from 119 to 218 while No votes fell from 107 to 54. The other choices are incorrect — both parties remained majority supporters (not opponents), most senators did not shift to oppose, and Senate Republicans were already overwhelmingly in favor (43–0 in 1957; 30–1 in 1965).
