The word that would give the sentence a negative tone if it replaced the word "quiet" is "silent." So the revised sentence would be: "Mary is such a silent child," which suggests a lack of communication or social engagement, creating a more negative impression than "quiet."
Use the sentences to answer the question.
"Mary is such a quiet child," said Aunt Lydia. "It makes me wonder what will become of her."
