Final answer:

To measure current with an in-line type meter, an ammeter should be placed in series with the circuit.


Step-by-step explanation:

To measure current with an in-line type meter, an ammeter is placed in series with the circuit. This means that the ammeter is connected in-line with the current flowing through the circuit. By measuring the current directly, the ammeter provides an accurate reading of the current strength. Placing a voltmeter in series or parallel with the circuit, or an ammeter in parallel, would not accurately measure the current.
