Answer:

“conduct me where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson which is working now. To-night, if you have aught to teach me, let me profit by it.”

Explanation

<em>I believe this is the answer because Scrooge is saying that he wants to learn a lesson. Saying he will 'profit' by it is saying that it will be beneficial to him. Hope I helped!</em>

Read the excerpt from "As Good as Gold."
Wittaler [7]

There are five elements of a plot: Exposition, conflict, raising action, climax, falling action and Resolution. From these elements, the one that approaches best to that excerpt is Resolution. The word "finally" can be a signal word that denotes the ending part and Resolution means that the conflict has been solved and indicates the ending, which it really makes sense, since after all the things happened in Jake's life, at the end "I expect we'll need three servings of bacon today" refering maybe to a happy ending.
