Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
This custom has been in vogue __________ time immemorial.
Answer: A
The right word is since: 'This custom has been in vogue since time immemorial.'
Since time immemorial is a fixed phrase meaning from a time so long ago that no one remembers it. It goes naturally with the present perfect has been, which describes a state continuing from a past point up to now.
For is used with a length of time ('for centuries'), not with a starting point. Till marks an end point, and during marks a span within which something happens, neither of which fits a custom continuing to the present.
