B. that it was worthwhile.
Explanation:
We can easily eliminate options A and C, since there is nothing conveying a negative connotation in the excerpt. We are left with options B and D.
Let's take a look at option D first. It says Giblin thinks the process of obtaining copies of the stone was amazing. However, that is not what the word choice conveys. Had there been words such as "fantastic" or "incredible" in the excerpt, this option would have made sense. But that is not the case.
<u>Option B is the only correct one. The excerpt uses words such as "fortunately", "good", and "clear". Those words convey the idea that the process the French used was worthwhile. It not only worked, but worked well, effectively.</u>

Is partly to behold my lady's face;
But chiefly to take thence from her dead finger

He makes this up to get rid of Balthazar.

Liberty Island is a small, uninhabited island, + but + 2. it is best known as the location of the Statue of Liberty. It is the only correctly written compound sentence, because of BUT.
