Regarding question 1, “more than 40 years” is not a specific time and you should use the present perfect.

Regarding question 2, the answer should be B. Instead of “stimulate,” it should read “stimulated” because you are referring to an event in the past.

Regarding question 3, “to be” should be “as”; otherwise, it sounds like the viewers are “sentencing” the advertisements to be tasteless. Condemn has two meanings and the use of “to be” after fits the second meaning (sentence)

Regarding question 4, your fix is wrong because you need the past tense “showed”.
