Answer:

$\boxed {\tt Slithery}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, remember what an adjective is. An adjective describes a noun.

Let's examine the sentence.

The slithery serpent slithered
$\tt silently$ .

Slithery describes the serpent.

Serpent is the noun (person, place, thing, or idea).

Slithered is the verb or action.

$\tt Silently$ is the adverb. It describes the verb. (How did the serpent slither? It slithered silently).

Since slithery describes the noun, it is the adjective.
