After hearing about an accident on his normal route, Mr. Gujral checks for alternate routes to get to work.

What type of circuit does this traffic situation model?

a series circuit because there is more than one path
a series circuit because there is only one path
a parallel circuit because there is more than one path
a parallel circuit because there is only one path

The traffic situation described models a parallel circuit because there is more than one path. In this scenario, the alternate routes represent different paths to the same destination, similar to how a parallel circuit allows multiple pathways for current to flow.
