Mary is such a quiet child," said Aunt Lydia. "It makes me wonder what will become of her." Which word would give the sentence a negative tone if it replaced the word quiet? (1 point) Responses disciplined disciplined sullen sullen calm calm reserved

Answer 1

The word that would give the sentence a negative tone if it replaced "quiet" is "sullen."

So the sentence would read: "Mary is such a sullen child." This suggests a negative emotional state compared to the more neutral or positive connotation of "quiet."
