slowly
Explanation:
Adverbs describe hoe a verb is performed. That is, adverbs modify verbs in the same way adjectives modify nouns.
This sentence could also be written as:
The plane landed.
However, it is possible that we add some description of how the plane landed, as follows:
The plane slowly landed.
Since slowly describes how the plane landed, it is an adverb.
A good rule of thumb for noticing adverbs is that they almost always end in the letter pattern "-ly".
