There are a lot of interesting tense changes to consider in this exercise! But why do we hop back into the present tense here:
“until she gave birth to her daughter Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle accouche de sa fille Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle donne naissance à sa fille Claude”
It's actually the present subjunctive, because of "jusqu'à ce que".
Jusqu'à ce que + Le Subjonctif = Until [someone] does [something] in French
I haven't read the exercise, but French often uses the present tense (historic present) to relate a story. This is a stylistic element to more intimately involve the reader in the action, to draw him into the story.
