Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
In a parallel combination, if one bulb gets disconnected, the other will work, which is the advantage of using parallel combinations. This is because the power supply from the battery is divided through the appliances, which will not interrupt the power supply to the other appliances if one gets damaged.
In a home circuit, electrical appliances are linked in a parallel configuration so that:
●       Each appliance receives its full voltage due to the low resistance of the parallel configuration. The operation of other appliances is unaffected if one appliance fuses.
●       We don't need to use other appliances to use one.
