The sentence that contains an example of verbal irony is: "Can't wait to work on my tan," Joe said, heading out into the rain.
To identify verbal irony, you need to look for a statement that expresses something contrary to its literal meaning. In this sentence, Joe is expressing excitement about working on his tan, which typically implies spending time in the sun. However, he is doing so while heading out into the rain, which is the opposite of what is typically expected for tanning.
