I believe that Design-2 is the most inclusive because it has large text, an audio file for those unable to read, does not have tons of other information surrounding it to distract, and has language options across the top.
I agree with Isabelle that design 2 seems the most inclusive. The first thing that stood out to me was the larger image and text that make it easier to read, as well as the overall simpler layout of the page. The most inclusive thing I notice, though, was the “listen” feature next to the author’s name.
Design 2 looks the most inclusive because the font is the largest and it includes an audio option for the article as well as different language options at the top of the page.
