Read the excerpt from "As Good as Gold."

Finally, Jake straightened up and began to prepare breakfast. "I expect we'll need three servings of bacon today," he said to the dog with a grin.

Which plot element is best shown in this excerpt?

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.

The plot element that is shown in this section is Resolution.

Explanation:

Plot is the sequence of events in the story, the network of situations that the characters live, the plot of the actions they do or that they suffer. We can identify five elements that make up the plot: Exposure, conflict, increase action, climax, action drop and resolution.

In the case of this excerpt, the element of the plot that is being shown is the Resolution that is the solution of the conflict produced by the actions of the characters, that is, it is the conclusion of the story, where everything comes to an end. This can be perceived by the word "finally" which indicates that after all the characters have passed the end of the story is coming.
