Jamile is recording secretary of our school's student council. His primary job is to take notes at each meeting and present a brief summary at the next one. But Jamile's summaries include almost every comment from every council member. Dina has told him the only problem with his presentations is that they. Which phrase would add VERBAL IRONY to the paragraph? aren't sufficiently brief run longer than the meetings take too much time to read include minor details

To add verbal irony to the paragraph, you could use the phrase "run longer than the meetings." This implies that while the expectation is for a brief summary, Jamile's summaries end up being excessively long, highlighting the contradiction between what is expected and what is delivered.
So, the revised sentence would read: "Dina has told him the only problem with his presentations is that they run longer than the meetings."
