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 saying that the chili is a "big hit," implying that it is popular, while the untouched bowls indicate that no one is eating it, suggesting the opposite.
