Question

which portions of the text best reveal dramatic irony?

to think it was so? o, give me thy hand,
one writ with me in sour misfortunes book!
ill bury thee in a triumphant grave;
a grave? o no! a lantern, slaughterd youth,
for here lies juliet, and her beauty makes
this vault a feasting presence full of light.

Explanation:

Define dramatic irony in the context of the scene

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows a vital piece of information that a character on stage does not. In Act 5, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo believes Juliet is dead and is preparing to bury Paris and commit suicide, whereas the audience knows Juliet is merely under the influence of Friar Laurence's sleeping potion and is about to wake up.

Identify the specific lines showing dramatic irony

The lines that best reveal this dramatic irony are:
"For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes / This vault a feasting presence full of light."
Romeo observes that Juliet still looks beautiful and radiant, which he attributes to her transcendent nature, but the audience knows her radiant beauty is actually a sign that she is alive and regaining consciousness as the potion wears off.

Answer:

The portion of the text that best reveals dramatic irony is:

"For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence full of light."
