The statement that best explains how dramatic irony is created in the story is:
The reader knows how both characters feel about the interview while the characters do not know how each other feel.
This is because the reader is privy to Sarai's and Aldric's internal thoughts and anxieties, while they are unaware of each other's feelings and insecurities about the interview.
