parallel isn't a case of direction, it just means two lines that will never bisect (check out the "L"s in parallel).

There is the 49th degree North parallel but it is really just a line of latitude.

also, just for clarification, horizontal is going across (just think of the horizon) and vertical is going up.

Draw parallel horizontal lines?

Parallel lines are lines that, if extended, would never intersect with eachother. This means that they are going in the same direction, eg. | |, but not | \. Horizontal means that that are going across, eg. ___________________, not |. An example of a lines that are parallel and horizontal: _____________________________________ _____________________________________

Depends. What did you want to measure? If it's voltage drop across the incandescent element, then you had better hook up your infinite resistance voltmeter in parallel with the lamp.

Why is the voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit equal to the voltage across each bulb?

The voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit is equal to the voltage across each bulb because Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the signed sum of the voltages going around a series circuit adds up to zero. Each section of the parallel circuit, i.e. the battery and one bulb, constitutes a series circuit. By KVL, the voltage across the battery must be equal and opposite to the voltage across the bulb. Another way of thinking about this is to consider that the conductors joining the battery and bulbs effectively have zero ohms resistance. By Ohm's law, this means the voltage across the conductor is zero, which means the voltage across the bulb must be equal to the voltage across the battery and, of course, the same applies for all of the bulbs.
