Dramatic Irony, explained by TedED, means that the audience knows something the characters do not just yet or may never know. (example: you know that there's a killer in a movie, but there is suspense as to when the character will be jump-scared when walking down a dark hallway.)

Let's look at the lines in the story to get a better viewpoint:

"L1: <span>BALTHASAR: Then she is well, and nothing can be ill: Her body sleeps in Capel's monument, And her immortal part with angels lives. I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, And presently took post to tell it you: O, pardon me for bringing these ill news, Since you did leave it for my office, sir.

L2: </span><span>ROMEO: Is it even so? then I defy you, stars! Thou know'st my lodging: get me ink and paper, And hire post-horses; I will hence to-night.

L3: </span><span>BALTHASAR: I do beseech you, sir, have patience: Your looks are pale and wild, and do import Some misadventure.

L4: </span><span>ROMEO: Tush, thou art deceived:Leave me, and do the thing I bid thee do.Hast thou no letters to me from the friar?

L5: </span><span>BALTHASAR: No, my good lord"

Okay, so now that we see the lines pretty clearly, we should look for the dramatic irony. So we see there aren't any stage actions/directions, must be words. I believe the correct answer would be that Juliet faked her death as we know, but Romeo and Balthasar do not know this perhaps.

They used a counter attack on the pearl harbor from the rear because they thought no one would be looking at the rear of the vessel so hey went to the rear and they added a wooden propeller base for shallow waters because the torpedo they was using was for deep water and their plains were faster than what the us had.
