seeing the untouched bowls of chili, the chef laughed, "One of my biggest hits!"

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!'"

This is verbal irony because the chef is claiming that the chili is a big success (a "hit"), while the fact that it remains untouched suggests that people do not actually want to eat it.
