I remember taking notes that the / character will "nullify" the 2nd quotation mark in the string:
var text = 'She/'s a great person!'
But it doesn't act as if this is the correct answer.

You're using a forward slash.

29,679 PointsNo problem, I used to do the same thing all the time. Started thinking to myself that I'm trying to bring the character back out, so I need to use a back slash. It's worked for me.
