(a) True. Consider the sequence

an=(0,1,0,1,)a_{n} = (0, 1, 0, 1, \dots)

with an inifinite number of 1s that diverges.

(b) False. We falsify this statement with a proof by contradiction. Suppose that such a sequence exists; let us denote it by ana_{n} and its limit by aa where a1a \neq 1. However, if we choose ϵ=1a\epsilon = |1 - a|, then by definition

NN(nN(nN    anV1a(a))).\exists N \in \mathbb{N}(\forall n \in \mathbb{N}(n \geq N \implies a_{n} \in V_{|1 - a|}(a))).

Notice that this is problematic because it implies that no 1s are in V1a(a)V_{|1 - a|}(a) and, consequently, there there is a finite number of 1s (because there could be at most be N1N - 1 1s). Thus, we encounter a contradiction.

(c) True. Consider the sequence

an=(0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,).a_{n} = (0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, \dots).

Clearly, it diverges and we can find nn consecutive number of ones for every nNn \in \mathbb{N}.
