Correct answer: D
Correct answer: hearten
Meaning of "dispirit": to cause someone to lose enthusiasm or hope.
Discourage — to cause someone to lose confidence or enthusiasm (a synonym of "dispirit").
Insolent — showing a rude or arrogant lack of respect (not related to encouraging or discouraging).
Contemptuous — scornful or disdainful (not an opposite of "dispirit").
Hearten — to make more cheerful or confident (the opposite of "dispirit").
Therefore, "hearten" is the correct antonym of "dispirit."
