It is an Adverb. The giveaway is the syllable -ly at the end. Remove it, and you get dangerous - the adjective. Not all adverbs end in -ly, but most do.

The test is, can you put it in a sentence with a noun, or does that sound wrong?

So (dog is a noun)

The angry dog was dangerous.

OR

The angry dog was dangerously.

Which one sounds better? If it goes with a noun, it's an adjective.

If it goes with a verb, it's an adverb.

So (waved is a verb)

He waved the gun dangerous.

OR

He waved the gun dangerously.

Which one works?
