Answer 1

The best response to the question about irony in the paragraphs is:

**It presents information to the reader that the characters do not yet know.**

This choice captures the situational irony where the readers are aware that both characters are at the same location (the marina), while the characters themselves are unaware of this fact, leading to tension and anticipation in the narrative.
