Answer #1

True

An ammeter is connected in series with the circuit because the purpose of the ammeter isto measure the current through the circuit. Since the ammeter is a low impedance device, connecting it in parallel with the circuit would cause a short circuit, damaging the ammeterand/or the circuit.
