If this is a question your teacher asked, I think you may be on the wrong track. He or she is undoubtedly trying to illustrate that people often confuse the words eminent, imminent, and immanent, which are pronounced almost alike but have different meanings.
Eminent is a synonym for "distinguished," e.g. "the eminent psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane."
Imminent is a more concise way of saying "about to happen," e.g. "The imminent destruction of the planet Earth."
Immanent is a spiritual term which means "residing within," or "inherent."
