Task - In 'strings.js' file define a string called 'statement' with the text of - She said "How's the family?"

My answer: ***javascript

it looks like it wants the Hows the family part in double quotes (you currently have it in single quotes). Try surrounding the string with single quotes and using double quotes around How's the family? (you will stil have to escape the apostrophe)

try removing the console.log statement (the challenge didnt ask for it, so it could be causing problems)
