    A. The girls are dressed in their "best party dresses" to go to the beach.

    Explanation:

    Ju lia Alvarez's poem Exile recounts the time her parents had got them ready to leave the Dominican Republic and move to America. The secret journey, the truth behind the lie, and the realization that she will no longer see her home for another decade are all revealed in the poem which reveals the poet's real thoughts about their move.

    Starting the first line with "The night we fled the country, Papi", Alvarez comes directly to the issue. His parents had planned on moving secretly, talking in hushed voices, and telling the children that they are going to the beach. Their flight away from the country is foreshadowed in the way the girls were told to wear their "best party dresses" to go to the beach.

    Thus, the correct answer is option A.
