A Classicist argues that our understanding of Latin and Greek is, at best, imperfect. Although the best students of modern languages can immerse themselves in a country where it is spoken to develop mastery, it is impossible to travel back in time to spend a year at Plato’s Academy to learn Latin or Greek.

This is a distinction drawn between modern languages and ancient languages to support the Classicist’s main conclusion.

This is not a conclusion. The main conclusion is that our mastery of Latin and Ancient Greek is limited, and this statement supports it.

The statement points out a contrast by providing an example of how ancient languages cannot be learned in the same immersive way as modern languages. This contrast supports the conclusion that mastery of ancient languages is limited.

This does have a relationship to the conclusion. It draws a distinction between modern and old languages to support the main conclusion.

This does not guarantee the truth of the conclusion. While this certainly supports the argument, it is far too strong to suggest that this makes the argument 100% valid without it expressly saying so in the stimulus.

This is not an ancillary conclusion because it does not receive support. It is a premise that is used to support the author’s main conclusion.
