Question 1 Last breadboard picture on page

Why is this a short?
Is it because the column holes are all connected together so the electricity travels in the path of least resistance. By passing going thru the component.
Question 2
I am having trouble understanding how electricity flows in a solderless breadboard?Is the 5 holes in a column's always the same voltage? (Are they wired together)
If that is the case then you should never put 2 ends of the same piece in the same column?
But if this is the case how do you put components in parrallel ?
I believe the top 2 rows get the same voltage. (i.e the wholes are all connected together behind the scenes.)
Thanks for any clarity.
Sorry for the stupid question but it is holding me back from understanding how to create circuits in a solderless breadboard.
