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 Beowulf’s departure.
the Danes are resentful of Beowulf’s bragging.
Beowulf is planning to continue being a warrior.
Beowulf is intending to become king of the Danes.

Beowulf is planning to continue being a warrior.

Reason: the passage says he "joyed in the night-work" and is "in repute for prowess" and that he fulfilled his boast for the Danes, which shows he delights in and practices heroic fighting. The other choices are not supported: the Danes are relieved and grateful (not eager for him to leave or resentful), and nothing suggests he intends to become their king.
