Question

the ant has had from time immemorial many enemies, and because he is small and destructive, there have been a great many slaughters among them. what does the word immemorial mean in this sentence?
Captured in our memory
Forgotten in our memory
Unable to be remembered
Extending back beyond memory

Answer 1

Normally, the word ‘immemorial’ means ‘ancient’ or ‘very old’ or ‘long lived’, whose date of inception cannot be remembered now.

In this sentence, the appropriate meaning of immemorial is ‘extending back beyond memory’, since it cannot be recalled now since when the ants had enemies.

Hence, the fourth option is the right one.
