1. know few rules : avoid using a comma before 'that' ,this is because 'that' introduces a 'restrictive clause' in a sentence.A restrictive clause is a group of words that introduces any essential information about the subject and hence cannot be done away with.
'so that' is a clause that shows a cause effect relation.
eg. He is so lazy that i avoid inviting him to the party.
Lazy-Cause , Avoid inviting-effect
'so' is used as a coordinating conjunction to show a reaction.
One correct expression would/could be : Don't be so demure that everyone may misunderstand you.
2.Gesticulation(a noun) is the gesture of gesticulating(a verb). 😁
So , His act of gesticulating in the show was simply fantabulous would fit the bill.
'fantabulous' is a misnomer for something that's fabulous.Both can be used interchangeably.(that's my personal opinion however 😃 )
3.Being a motivator,I have quizzed almost every facet of people's personality is correct.

"Romani contains many words and phrases from other tongues-language is absorbed as it travelled through"
this is option 'c' in your question.Even if i consider the first word to be in caps,what about the missing 'is' after 'it' ?
Shouldn't the sentence be : Romani contains many words and phrases from other tongues-language is absorbed as it is travel led through.
