For the answer to the question above, A language is considered dead if it isn't spoken by a group of people anywhere in the world as a dominant form of communication. Latin can be learned but it's not a language that people socialize in anymore. It's really only a language of the Church and even academia.
Classical Greek and the Greek before Classical as well as Koine Greek is all dead. People don't speak it or read it anymore except in academia. A modern Greek would not be able to understand Classical Greek just as we who know English can't understand Old English without learning it. Latin evolved into Italian. An Italian could not understand Latin without taking courses in it. But I think personally there is no such thing as a dead Language. As long as texts from the language survive and there are people who can read them a language lives.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The quote is "if the Treaty of Versailles war fair, the Second World War would not have occurred."

I can justify this statement? in the following way.

The victorious allies in World War I forced Germany to pay for war reparations. Yes, France and Great Britain did not really want a peace treaty. They wanted retribution and forced Germany to pay for all the destruction created during the war.

Germany was especially opposed to Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles because it held Germany (and Austria) responsible for the war and required reparations. Germany also was forced to disarm its military.

In the end, this also resulted in a substantial loss of territory for Germany. All of these decisions and actions created so much pain and resentment in Germany. They helped set the stage for European conflict that would eventually result in World War II.
