Answer 1

The statement that best describes the role of scientific racism in Nazi persecution is: **"Scientific racism was used to construct a theoretically superior Aryan race and to justify racism against other supposedly inferior races."**

This accurately reflects how the Nazis employed scientific racism to bolster their ideology of racial superiority, particularly in promoting the idea of the Aryan race as superior while deeming other groups, especially Jews, as inferior and thus justifying their persecution.
