Explanation:

Pursued means to follow or chase (someone or something). Hounded means to harass, persecute, or pursue relentlessly. The context of the given sentence implies that because the minister was not paying the taxes, authorities were following him. So, 'Pursued' and 'Hounded' fit appropriately.

So, the correct answer is option E.
