Answer 1

The sentence that BEST demonstrates the use of dramatic irony is: “Little did she know, Lily had overheard Julia talking about the party days earlier and was now secretly planning her own surprise.”

This sentence highlights the contrast between what Julia believes (that her surprise is truly a surprise) and what the audience knows (that Lily is already aware of the party and is planning her own surprise), creating dramatic irony.
