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 a speaker says one thing but means another, often the opposite, and in this case, the character's calm statement contrasts with the intense fight they just had, highlighting the irony in the situation.
