You simple have switched the positions of the last backwards slash and the last quotation marks on each of the words.

Thank youfor your reply. I have tried it with the backslash and quotations switched but even then it still wont allow me to pass. How may i resolve this? I appreciate your help and guidance.

Hello @Kandace !

I see that you mentioned you have already corrected the last \ in each of the two escapes.
Well done.

Now, I believe if you change the i at the beginning of the sentence to uppercase I you should be able to move on to the next step.

If this helps you to move on to the next step, please be kind and check Solution by MCRBLX for the great guidance provided to you?

Keep up the good progress and happy coding!

My apologies but I thought that escaping quotes was like this (if I misremember it, please correct me, i used [backslash] because it wont let me use real backslashes) :
let string = “This string [backslash]“escapes here[backslash]”.”;
