Explanation: <u>Verbal</u> <u>Irony</u> occurs when a speaker or writer speaks a statement with the intention of contradicting its literal meaning. In other words, it happens when the character speaks contraditory of what he initially intended to say. It is common in everyday speeches, plays, novels, poetry and is usually used as sarcasm. When properly used, authors can transmit their thoughts in a less bitter and more effective way.
Therefore for the phrase, the sentence that best support the meaning of Verbal Irony is: "run longer than the meetings", which also indicates the sarcasm of the situation, minimizing the bitterness of the comment.

Answer:
The word which signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence is:
B. which
Explanation:
We can eliminate the two last options since "while" and "yet" are not words that initiate restrictive or nonrestrictive clauses. They can be a part of them but are not essential.
We are left with "that" and "which", both having similar uses. However, "that" can be used with restrictive clauses, but not with nonrestrictive ones. That is the reason why we chose "which" as the correct option above. A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. A nonrestrictive clause is set off by commas, and the information provided by it can be taken out without any harm to the meaning or the message being conveyed. Take a look at the examples below:
- The clothes that I bought online must be delivered tomorrow. (restrictive)
- The clothes, which were donated by Jen, were impeccably clean. (nonrestrictive)
