Explanation:

"inspire" means to give someone the urge or confidence to do something. "encourage" also means to give support, confidence, or hope to someone. "wish" is just a desire. "discourage" is the opposite of giving confidence. "test" is about trying something out. So "encourage" is the synonym.

encouraged
