1 appreciate: This is correct. "To appreciate" something is "to be thankful" or "grateful" for it. This term is often used as a polite way of getting people to do things for us! For example: "I would appreciate it if you would turn that terrible music down." It is also a nice way of thanking someone. For example: "I appreciated it when you sent flowers when my rabbit died."
2 desperate: This is correct. To be "desperate" is to badly want or need something. For example: "She has been desperate to change jobs ever since the new boss arrived".
3 give birth: This is the right answer. "To give birth" describes the physical act of having or delivering a child. The process of "giving birth" is called "labor (US)" or "labour (UK)" because it is hard work! For example: "She had a difficult time giving birth. The baby was stuck and it took 67 hours to push it out".

1 birthday: A "birthday" refers to the date of one's birth! Amazing! The term can refer both to the date, as well as the celebration. Example: What are you doing for your birthday this year? In this text, we read that Clairette "gave birth" to a son. "To give birth" describes causing something or someone to be born: My wife gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, OR Karl Marx gave birth to Socialism.
2 born: "Born" comes from the verb "to bear", and is the past participle of the verb. This verb is almost exclusively used in the passive voice: I was born on December 31st, and my wife was born two days later. A "birth" refers literally to the beginning of someone's life, and figuratively to the beginning of any event. Example: My entire family was present at the birth of my son. In the figurative sense: The birth of the Art Nouveau movement was in 1880.
