Question

read the passage from beowulf. he joyed in the night - work, in repute for prowess; the prince of the geatmen for the east - danish people his boast had accomplished, bettered their burdensome bale - sorrows fully, the craft - begot evil they erstwhile had suffered and were forced to endure from crushing oppression, their manifold misery. based on the passage, the reader can infer that the danes are eager for beowulfs departure. the danes are resentful of beowulfs bragging. beowulf is planning to continue being a warrior. beowulf is intending to become king of the danes.

Explanation:

The passage mentions Beowulf's prowess and his actions that bettered the Danes' sorrows. There is no indication of the Danes wanting him to leave (no mention of eagerness for departure). There is no sign of resentment towards his boasting as he accomplished his boast. Also, there is no hint of him aiming to be king. But the description of his continued activity (he joyed in night - work, etc.) implies he is continuing his warrior ways.

Answer:

Beowulf is planning to continue being a warrior.
