Help needed

Hi I am new here and I am learning Japanese. I have a sentence in Japanese which I need me to fill in a particle.
公園は しずか( ) とおもいます。
Is な the answer since しずか is a なadjective?

Think what you would put there if とおもいます wasn't in the sentence (Just 公園は しずか()。 ).

 

[Toritoribe]

しずかな is attributive, not predicative, and しずか is not modifying anything there.
You need to pay attention that polite forms are not used in indirect quotations.

Thanks. That sentence is a tutorial question. So I should put だ?

Thanks. So だ is the correct answer?
