  • As we have to find the adverb in the given sentence let us understand an 'adverb'.
  • An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc.
  • Adverbs are formed by adding (-ly) to an adjective.
  • Now, we have to find if any word ending is with or without (-ly) and modifying a verb or adjective.
  • From the given options:
    • 'Hospital' acts as a noun in the given sentence.
    • 'Speak' acts as a verb in the given sentence.
    • 'Please' acts as a verb in the given sentence
    • 'Quietly' is ending with (-ly) and modifying the verb 'speak' so we can say that it is an adverb.
  • Hence, the option 'Quietly' is identified as an adverb in the given sentence.
