Xinyi and Jamal go to a party at Priya's house where Priya has prepared a surprise magic show that she has told no one about. In one of the rooms, she secretly shows Xinyi a hidden compartment in a cabinet where she will hide during the magic trick. Later, while Priya is hidden, Jamal and Xinyi bring their friend Amar to see the trick. Priya jumps out of the compartment, surprising Amar and Jamal. After the party, Amar asks Xinyi if she knew about Priya's trick beforehand. How should Xinyi respond to reflect her prior knowledge?

Provide a very brief response.
Xinyi should acknowledge that she knew about Priya's trick beforehand. Xinyi was privy to the information when Priya showed her the hidden compartment where Priya planned to hide during the magic show. This knowledge was not shared with Jamal or Amar prior to the trick being performed. Therefore, when Amar asks if she knew about it, she should confirm this, as Xinyi was aware of Priya's intentions and the existence of the hidden compartment before the trick took place and before Amar and Jamal were made aware of it when Priya revealed herself. The reasoning is based on Xinyi's unique position of knowing about the trick before it was performed and her presence when Priya shared this secret.
