Open samples/databases/wide-world-importers/wwi-ssdt/wwi-ssdt/PostDeploymentScripts/pds150-ins-app-cities-h.sql and inspect lines 1679-1685 around the reported SQL72006 error. Check the quotation boundaries in that section, then run the relevant SSDT build to confirm the script parses without the unclosed-quotation error.
