The scenario that is an example of verbal irony is:
Two characters get into a huge fight and then at the end, the one calmly says, “We don’t get along with each other that well.”
Verbal irony occurs when someone says something but means the opposite, often for humorous or emphatic effect. In this case, the character's calm statement contrasts sharply with their previous actions, indicating a disconnect between what is said and what is meant.
