The answers are sweeping, banned and segregation. Consider gap 2 first. You need a verb and the subject of the verb is civil rights legislation. The object is racial discrimination. What did civil rights legislation do? Did it pass or condone discrimination? No, it banned discrimination. What did it outlaw? Again, it outlawed something negative. The only option for gap 3 is therefore segregation. Integration and assimilation are positive. For Gap 1 we have nothing in the passage to suggest that the legislation was controversial or equivocal. However, because there were so many results, it can be thought of as sweeping.
