Solution

The sentence that shows verbal irony is: "I just love doing dishes," said sarcastically.

Step by Step Explanation:

  1. Verbal irony is when what is said is the opposite of what is meant. It often involves sarcasm.

  2. In option A, the speaker says, "I just love doing dishes," but the addition of "said sarcastically" indicates that the speaker means the opposite. They do not actually love doing dishes. This is an example of verbal irony.

  3. The other options (B, C, and D) do not involve a speaker saying something that means the opposite of what they actually mean, so they are not examples of verbal irony.
