C# How to overload the add method with two different strings

I have been trying to build the following Text Adventure and have reached an error that I cannot figure out how to resolve. The error is:

Assets/My_Scripts/MH_Script.cs(19,23): error CS1501: No overload for method Add' takes 2' arguments

Here is the beginning code for MH_Script.cs, the list is rather long since this is a Text Adventure.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class MH_Script {

    public static List<MH_ScriptManager> sList = new List<MH_ScriptManager>();

        public MH_Script(){

        sList.Add("start", "You awaken in a sweltering room....

There are more strings added to sList in the same manner followed by:

public string SendScript(string state){
        string returnthis = "";
        foreach(MH_ScriptManager sm in sList){
            if(sm.getState() == state){
                returnthis = sm.getStory();
            }
        }
        return returnthis;
    } 
}

and here is MH_ScriptManager:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class MH_ScriptManager{


    public Helpers.STATE gState;
    public string gScript;
    public string getCurrentState(){
        return gState;
    }

    public MH_ScriptManager (string state, string script){
        gState = Helpers.ParseEnum<Helpers.STATE>(state);
        gScript = script;
    }

    public string getStory(){
        return gScript;
    }

    public string getState(){
        return gState.ToString();
    }

    public void setStory(string script){
        gScript = script;
    }

    public void setState(string state){
        gState = Helpers.ParseEnum<Helpers.STATE>(state);
    }

    public bool compareStatetoString(string compare){
        if (gState == Helpers.ParseEnum<Helpers.STATE> (compare))
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
}

Can somebody please explain to me what I am doing wrong, and how I can go about resolving this error in the future?

List.Add takes single argument, but in this case you are passing two arguments, which is causing an exception.

Also sList is of type MH_ScriptManager , so what you need is 

sList.Add(new MH_ScriptManager("start", "You awaken in a sweltering room..."));

Because Add method should have one argument but you give it two arguments, so 

 sList.Add("start", "You awaken in a sweltering room);

change to:

 sList.Add("You awaken in a sweltering room)
