I always get these mixed up because in spoken english, it really doesn't matter if you say
Despite her late arrival, she was able to complete the test.
Although she arrived late, she was able to complete the test.
Despite the fact that she arrived late, she was able to complete the test.
These all mean the same thing when you speak english.

What is the use of the word 'still' when using these phrases? e.g
