Answer: "The (1846) crack" is what both sentences have in common, therefore we can combine them like this:

Since it could not be fixed, the Liberty Bell has had that crack in it ever since.

The correct answer is: "That crack could not be fixed, so the Liberty bell has had it ever since."

or, alternatively "The Liberty Bell has had that unfixable crack ever since".
