Correct Answer: pursue
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
Pursuing a dream means actively working towards achieving it, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Persevere means to persist in an endeavour despite difficulties, but it doesn't directly convey the idea of starting a business.
- Eschew means deliberately avoiding or abstaining from something, which is the opposite of what the sentence describes.
- Cherish means to hold something dear or treasure it.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: Then, he left for Silicon Valley to pursue his dream of launching a start-up.
