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.”
This statement is ironic because it downplays the intense conflict that just occurred between the two characters. Verbal irony involves saying something in a way that contrasts with or exaggerates the actual situation.
