I believe it is "roused."  Here is the definition (the second one):

rouse  (rouz)
v. roused, rous·ing, rous·es
v.tr.
1. To arouse from slumber, apathy, or depression.
2. To excite, as to anger or action; stir up.

It is roused.

Roused. 

Mentally, when I read the question, before I read the answers, I filled in "galvanized".  Roused is closest to that meaning.  

If you're looking for a way to approach future questions like this, that may be a helpful technique.
