During the Renaissance, a Black woman was viewed as not being (important) but in Literature and Essays throughout the Twentieth Century she was (rediscovered)
---why not (attractive...beatified)?

The presenter was a skilled (extemporaneous) speaker as she (improvised) throughout the course of her long presentation.
---why not (oral...demonstrated)?

One should not (castigate) a child for a fault that he cannot help.
---why not (condemn)?

I will try my best,

During the Renaissance, a Black woman was viewed as not being (important) but in Literature and Essays throughout the Twentieth Century she was (rediscovered)
---why not (attractive...beatified)?
"beatified" doesn't go with attractive in any sense.

The presenter was a skilled (extemporaneous) speaker as she (improvised) throughout the course of her long presentation.
---why not (oral...demonstrated)?
"demonstrated" - What is she demonstrating? Seems like a vague answer choice.
She is an extemporaneous (meaning impromptu) speaker who improvised throughout the course of her long presentation

One should not (castigate) a child for a fault that he cannot help.
---why not (condemn)?
Condemning a child is a bit excessive/extreme for something he or she couldn't help.
