so the only difference is you want single quotes around the field, right?
this is pretty straight forward, what have you tried so far?
I hate to give it away in case this is a homework question, so let me give some hints first:
are you familiar with how to concatenate strings together in a select statement?

Are you wanting to add the single quote around the field?

Something like the following code? (assuming all you want to do is add the quotation marks...)
Select ''''+Test +'''' From Abc
