Answer 1

The sentence that contains an example of verbal irony is:

"On the bakery's opening day, the baker pulled the pan of the cinnamon rolls out of the oven to realize he forgot to add the baking powder and they were all flat. 'One of my biggest hits,' he laughed."

In this sentence, the baker humorously refers to his flat cinnamon rolls as "one of my biggest hits," which is ironic because flat, poorly made rolls are not typically considered a success in baking.
