Answer:

B). Take too much time to read.

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbal irony is characterized as the figurative device in which there is a contradiction between the literal and implied meaning of the statement.

In the given paragraph, the phrase 'take too much time to read' adds verbal irony as it reflects the contradiction in Jamile's intended action(presenting a brief summary of the meeting) and the actual action('elaborated due to inclusion of each comment from the meeting'). Thus, this comments(mocks) upon Jamile's inability to justify his job. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
