How is a parallel circuit different from a series circuit?

AIt gives only one single pathway
BIt gives no pathway at all
CIt gives more than one pathway
DIt gives a pathway with no cell
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It gives more than one pathway
1. A series circuit gives the current one single pathway to follow. 2. A parallel circuit splits into branches, so there is more than one pathway. 3. The current divides between those branches and joins up again afterwards. 4. A circuit with no pathway at all would simply be broken. _Source: Siyavula Natural Sciences Grade 8 (CC BY 4.0), Parallel circuits_
