script.js 
function returnValue ( singleArgument ) {

  return singleArgument;
}

var echo singleArgument;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Hi Kerry,

The correct code can be found below:

function returnValue(returnString) {
  return returnString;
}

var echo = returnValue("Hello");

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
