In the following circuit, a) identify all combinations of 2 or more circuit elements that are connected in series and b) Identify pairs of circuit elements that are connected in parallel.

a) Seems easy enough, the 4 and 6 ohm resistors are in series, and so are the 5 ohm resistor with the 20 V volate source. Did I miss any?
b) Here the question says "Identify pairs" not "all pairs" so I'm not sure if I have to find all of them...aren't there a lot? I think I'm having trouble finding every last parallel pair. This is what I have so far.
1 ohm is in parallel with 2 ohm
4 ohm "" 5 ohm
4 ohm "" 20 V
6 ohm "" 5 ohm
6 ohm "" 20 V
3 ohm "" 5 ohm
3 ohm "" 20 V
1 ohm "" 3 ohm (?)
2 ohm "" 3 ohm (?)
I feel like I have too many or too little pairs...
SIDE QUESTION:
In a circular circuit where all the elements are connected in a single loop, are the elements in series or in parallel?
