• "Meet my great-grandmother," she said.
• "Oh, great, we missed the bus," she said.

Answer 1

The sentence that contains an example of verbal irony is: "Oh, great, we missed the bus," she said.

Verbal irony occurs when a speaker says one thing but means another, often the opposite of what is stated. In this case, missing the bus is not a "great" situation, highlighting the irony.
