To determine the answer to this question, we need to analyze the given options and understand the context of the story "The Death of Beowulf." From the options provided, we can eliminate "weakened from exertion," "saddened from exhaustion," and "shaking in frustration" as they do not describe a positive outcome of conquering the dragon.
Therefore, the correct answer is "reddened with exhilaration." The term "flushed" typically refers to a reddening of the face, and in this context, it suggests that Wexton's son experienced a surge of excitement, triumph, or exhilaration after conquering the dragon.
