Bash Scripting - Quoting and Expansion

How can you combine single and double quotes to assign the string She said, "It's fine" literally to a variable?

Atext="She said, \"It's fine\""

Btext="She said, 'It's fine'"

Ctext='She said, "It'\''s fine"'

D'"enif s''\'tI" ,dias ehS'=txet

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand mixing quotes
Double quotes allow variable expansion and escaping double quotes inside. Single quotes prevent expansion but can't contain unescaped single quotes.
Step 2: Analyze options
text="She said, \"It's fine\"" uses double quotes outside and escapes inner double quotes, preserving the literal string including single quote. Options C and D have syntax errors due to improper quote closing. text="She said, 'It's fine'" uses single quotes inside double quotes but does not match the required double quotes.
Final Answer:
text="She said, \"It's fine\"" -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use double quotes with escaped inner double quotes = text="She said, \"It's fine\"" [OK]

Quick Trick: Use double quotes outside and escape inner double quotes [OK]
