a. Q is the set of rational numbers. It is obviously a disconnected set because we can find an irrational number a, such that Q is contained in the union of the two disjoint open sets (-inf,a) and (a,inf). Because Q is dense in R, so the closure of Q is R, which is connected.
b.
(1) Yes. If A is connected, the A ...
