Here is another "test"... this time not math but English...
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! 
So here is the Q:
Select the option that best combines the sentences.
King Arthur is a highly regarded British monarch whose story can be traced back to legends in the sixth century. Even hundreds of years after his death, Arthur is revered as Britain's "once and future king."
A
King Arthur is a highly regarded British monarch whose story can be traced back to legends in the sixth century, but even hundreds of years after his death, Arthur is revered as Britain's "once and future king."
B
King Arthur is a highly regarded British monarch whose story can be traced back to legends in the sixth century; in fact, even hundreds of years after his death, Arthur is revered as Britain's "once and future king."
C
King Arthur is a highly regarded British monarch whose story can be traced back to legends in the sixth century; however, even hundreds of years after his death, Arthur is revered as Britain's "once and future king."
D
King Arthur is a highly regarded British monarch whose story can be traced back to legends in the sixth century because even hundreds of years after his death, Arthur is revered as Britain's "once and future king."
In my opinion (Robert B, please comment), options A and D are lame...
and the only difference between options B and C are the word(s) = "in fact" (b) versus "however" (c)
This, IMHO, is a very subtle difference! More in regards to an author's STYLE than any objective competence with the English language!
I really hope Robert B will post a response... although I may be an idiot in English Literature, I trust his opinion on this matter...
[Top Secret]
I answered "b", because I thought "in fact" was slightly (VERY SLIGHTLY) better than "however"
