The sentence that uses the word "dramatic" incorrectly is:
"The dramatic machine measures out exactly one ounce of liquid into each cup."
In this context, "dramatic" does not appropriately describe a machine that measures liquid, as it typically refers to something that is theatrical, intense, or striking in a way that evokes emotion. The other sentences use "dramatic" in a way that fits its conventional meanings.
