CORRECT :spurred = to encourage someone to do something

lead on = to encourage someone to do something or to expect something, especially by lying to them or promising them something that they cannot have

I hope he’s not just leading her on, because I’d hate to see her get hurt.

pull on = to put on clothes, especially quickly
Emily pulled on her gloves as she walked.

push on=

1 to continue a journey, especially after stopping for a period of time
Next day we pushed on towards London.

2 to continue doing something, especially when you do not have much time
There’s a lot to do, so let’s push on.
push on with: I’ve pushed on with the work because I want to finish it today.
