Correct answers: Poll taxes; Literacy tests; White Primaries.

These were Jim Crow–era barriers that disenfranchised African Americans (economic barriers, literacy requirements often applied selectively, and exclusion from Democratic primaries), causing the sharp decline in turnout. Expansion of public education and increased industrial jobs would not have caused a decline.
