 我的理解:

"It can be inferred from the passage that"是第一层

"a characteristic (特征)是第二层的主语."of the ethnological research on Native Americans"是修饰前面主语"characteristic"的定语,"conducted during the nineteenth century"是修饰前面"research"的定语.

"was the use of which of the following"中的"was"是第二层的系动词,"the use of which of the following"是第二层的表语.

题目的意思是:从文中可推断出,19世纪进行的关于美国本土人种研究有一个特点,这个特点是使用以下哪一项?

如有不正确,请各位指正.
