Someone please help.

The excerpt below comes from the Voting Rights Act of 1965:

Answer 6

I have read the quote but I can't tell what exactly it means...
this part of the quote looks like it would make the answer A.--> "Congress hereby declares that to secure the rights under the fourteenth amendment of persons educated in American-flag schools in which the predominant classroom language was other than English.

But this part makes me think B.--> it is necessary to prohibit the States from conditioning the right to vote of such persons on ability to read, write, understand, or interpret any matter in the English language."
