When an object moves from point A to point B , its displacement is the straight line distance between those points. So, by definition, it is the shortest possible path. The object can certainly travel by a curved path from A to B so its actual distance traveled would be longer then its displacement. This would be true regardless of how much time it takes to travel the paths.
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.

pay attention to what your saying
Displacement is basically the total space between point A and point B. Commonly mistaken, displacement is different than distance. For example, if somebody walked 5 meters to the right, then 4 meters to the left, their displacement would be 1 meter, and their distance walked would be 9 meters.
One cylinder would have a displacement of 21.2 cubic inches. By multiplying this displacement by the number of cylinders, in this case 6, the total displacement would be approximately 127 cubic inches. Area of circle pi x radius squared x length of stroke = one cylinder's displacement. be sure to use same units for area as well as stroke.
The total displacement of the forest ranger's two trips would be the difference between the two distances, as they are in opposite directions. In this case, the total displacement would be 3 km south (15 km - 12 km = 3 km).

Usually no. Say you need to fly to New York from Chicago. The resultant displacement would be the straightline distance between the two cities. But you fly through Atlanta (Everything seems to go through Atlanta). You would end up flying about twice the total distance between the cities.
Well, if you traveled a distance of, lets say, one million miles, then your displacement would be zero. That is the difference between distance and displacement. Distance is the total area of which you have moved, commonly expressed by using miles or kilometers. While displacement is the DISTANCE between your starting point and end point.
