Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is replacing a similar element within a given compound.

For example;

A + BC → AC + B

The replacement of a metallic ion in solution by a metal ion higher in the activity series than the metal in solution falls into this category of reactions.

The relative position of the two elements in the activity series provides the driving force for the single replacement reactions.
