Explanation
The textbook explicitly states under the section '11.2 ELECTRIC POTENTIAL AND POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE' that 'The voltmeter is always connected in parallel across the points between which the potential difference is to be measured.' This connection allows the voltmeter to measure the voltage drop across the specific component without interrupting the main current flow.
