    static string Quote(string Question)
    {
        return (\"Question\"");
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Quote by Maya Angelou.
        Console.WriteLine(Quote("When you learn, teach. When you get, give."));

Since the challenge was about escape sequences I'm not sure if there is a better answer. I was just focused on the syntax coloring so that the parameter Question was returned instead of the string "Question". This passed:

 static string Quote(string Question)
    {
        return ("\"" + Question + "\"");
    }
