It would not be dangerous to leave a light bulb partially unscrewed, however, there is some possibility that it will fall out of the socket. I would advise that if you don't want the bulb to be on, and you don't have a light switch, unscrew the bulb completely and put it away until you need it.

If you have 3 light bulbs explain how you can determine they are connected in parallel circuits by unscrewing one bulb?

Unscrewing any light bulb in series will result in the others turning off. If they are in parallel, unscrewing one will have no effect. For example, say we have lights bulbs L1, L2, and L3, where L1 and L2 are in parallel and L3 is in series with L1 and L2. If L1 is unscrewed: L2 and L3 will stay lit. If L2 is unscrewed: L1 and L3 will stay lit. If L3 is unscrewed: L1 and L2 will turn off.
