A: "clasp" is usually something you do with both your hands, where they kinda grab each other.

The difference between grasp and grab is that grasp implies that it is difficult. For example, if you're on the toilet and you want to get a magazine sitting on a counter that's kinda far away, you would "grasp" for it.

"grasping for *"(where * is a concept like "your dreams" or "your future", instead of a physical object) is also an expression that means trying as hard as you possibly can to accomplish to do *.
