Answer 1

The sentence that contains an example of verbal irony is:

"Seeing the untouched bowls of chili, the chef laughed. 'One of my biggest hits!'"

In this case, the chef is implying that the chili was popular or successful, while the untouched bowls suggest that no one actually enjoyed it. This contrast between the statement and the reality creates verbal irony.
