I have a spreadsheet with five different columns standing for five
different variables:

Variable 1 Variable 2 Variable 3 Variable 4 Variable 5 0 0 7 1 0 0 0 7 0 0 1
1 8 2 0 5 5 8 0 0 1 4 8 1 0 4 5 8 0 0 0 1 7 2 1
I am trying to create five box and whiskers plots on a single graph with a
five x-label ticks named for each one of
the variables along with color coding. The names for the x-label would be
"Meeting"[ pertains to Variable1] "Meeting2"[pertains to Variable 2]
Meeting3[pertains to Variable 3], Meeting4[pertains to Variable4],
Meeting5[pertains to Variable5].

I have tried:

boxplot(data, las = 2, col =
c("red", "blue", "black", "aquamarine1", "darkorange3")
, at = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), par(mar = c(12, 5, 4, 2) + 0.1),
names = c("Meeting 1", "'Meeting2", "Meeting3", "Meeting4","Meeting5")


Error: unexpected string constant in:
"boxplot(data, las=2, col= c('red', 'blue', 'red', 'red', red')
boxplot(data, las=2, col= c('"
