Write a static method that will receive two Strings, a needle and a haystack. The method should return true if the needle is found surrounded by quotation marks. Also, there must either be a space next to the quotes or a String boundary.

Preconditions:

• The needle String won't be null and will be length 1 or greater.
• The haystack String won't be null.

Examples:

isQuoted(n, text) returns the following assuming n is bark....

• true when text is Don't you "bark" at me!
• true when text is His "bark" is worse than his bite.
• false when text is His bark is worse than his bite.
• false when text is bark
• false when text is b
