Answer 2

At the end of Henry O's story, "One Thousand Dollars," Gillian and the reader know that Gillian did not lose the One Thousand Dollars in the race as he lied but gave the money to Ms. Hayden.

The lawyers do not know this fact. They still think that Gillian lost the One Thousand Dollars in the race.

This is dramatic irony because the lawyers do not know better than the reader. Instead, the reader and Gillian know the truth about the whereabouts of the One Thousand Dollars.

Thus, the thing that Gillian and the reader know that the lawyers do not know is that the money was not lost but given to Ms. Hayden.
