Answer

  1. By connecting a high resistance multiplier in series with the galvanometer.

Explanation:

A galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter of given range by connecting a high resistance called multiplier in series with the galvanometer, whose value is given as:

$\text{R}\Big(\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}_\text{g}}\Big)-\text{G}$

Where V is the voltage to be measured, Ig is the current for full scale deflection of galvanometer and G is the resistance of galvanometer.
