Interpretations are given. choose the interpretation that is most appropriate

We saw Ada, of all people, dancing. This means

Answer Details
The interpretation that is most appropriate for "We saw Ada, of all people, dancing" is "we were surprised to see Ada dancing". This means that Ada is not someone who is expected to dance in that situation, and the speaker is expressing surprise or disbelief that Ada was the one who was dancing. The phrase "of all people" emphasizes this surprise, as it suggests that Ada is the last person that the speaker would expect to see dancing in that particular context.
