There seems to be an extra doublequote " in one of the configuration files for package management.

Please provide the output of the terminal commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list

You have a spurious quote mark at the start of that line in that file, probably as a result of copying and pasting from instructions on a web page. Remove it and try again. (You may also have a spurious quote mark at the end of the line.)
