//var statement = 'She said \"How\'s the family?\" ' ; //var statement = "She said \"How's the family?\" "; //var statement = "She said \"How\'s the family?\" "; //var statement = 'She said "How\'s the family?\" '; //var statement = 'She said \"How\'s the family?\" ';
Each case above works fine in the console but receives errors during the challenge. What did I miss?

42,016 Pointslooks like you might have a space at the very end of the string. try
var statement = 'She said \"How\'s the family?\"';
whereas you had
var statement = 'She said \"How\'s the family?\" ' ;
notice the space at the end between the last " and ';. Thats whats causing it to fail

For future reference, since you wrapped the string with single quotes you only have to escape the single quote.
