Carol adds:

Alla, you probably know that the characters listed (Tashtego, Daggoo,
and Fedallah) are all harpooneers--the quiz writers omitted Queequeg
as a giveaway. "After" is used in the sense of what they're pursuing:
they're all "after" Moby Dick in the sense that they're hunting him
with the intention of killing him.

Does that help? (As I understand it, it was the wording of the
question that confused you.)

Carol, wishing that the other questions were as easy for me as that one
