Answer

Brief Explanations:

Verbal irony occurs when words are used to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. In this passage, Phoebe's statement "A song with rhyming words. Oo, I never thought of that before..." is ironic. Rhyming is a very common and basic element in songs. By saying she "never thought of that before," Phoebe is actually mocking the singer's lack of creativity or originality. This adds a sarcastic and humorous tone to the passage. It shows that Phoebe is not impressed with the singer's song and is using irony to express her disdain in a light - hearted, comical way.

Answer:

The verbal irony in Phoebe's statement adds a sarcastic and humorous tone to the passage. It shows her mockery of the singer's lack of creativity (since rhyming is a basic song element) in a comical way.
