Civics Reporting Category 2 Practice Test

The main idea here is knowing a word that means to forbid or disallow something. Prohibit fits because it’s a verb that means to officially ban or disallow by law, rule, or authority. You can say a policy prohibits certain actions, like smoking on campus, to show it’s not allowed. The other terms describe different ideas: literacy test is a test of reading and writing skills, segregation is separating people into groups, and suffrage is the right to vote. None of those mean to forbid something, so prohibit is the best choice.
