Which one of the following words is most similar in meaning to the word 'chasing' as used in the passage?
Answer: D
The word closest in meaning to 'chasing' is pursuing.
In the passage Indian IT firms are 'chasing new clients' in the developing world: they are actively seeking and trying to win them. To pursue means to follow or seek something in order to obtain it, as in pursuing a goal or pursuing customers, so it carries the same sense.
Running describes physical movement, not seeking. Harassing and pestering mean annoying someone persistently, a negative sense that the business context does not have.
