Final answer:

Verbal irony involves words conveying meanings opposite to their literal sense, while situational irony leads to unexpected outcomes in narratives, enriching storytelling with depth and complexity.


Explanation:

Verbal irony refers to a tension between a word's dictionary definition and the way it is being used, similar to sarcasm, where the intended meaning of the expression is the opposite of its literal meaning. An example of verbal irony is when someone says 'Well, that's just great!' after spilling coffee, to convey the opposite feeling. Another type of irony is situational irony, which occurs when the actual result is drastically different from what is expected, adding depth and complexity to a story.
