O "Julia eagerly prepared a surprise birthday party for her best friend, Lily."
"She decorated the living room with streamers and balloons, hiding behind the couch with a big smile."
"Lite did she know, Lily had overheard Julia talking about the party days earlier and was now secretly planning her own surprise."
"As Julia waited in anticipation, Lily quietly slipped into the house with a cake, ready to turn the tables on her unsuspecting friend."

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 reveals that Julia is unaware of Lily's knowledge about the surprise party, creating a contrast between what Julia believes and what the audience knows, which is the essence of dramatic irony.
