(2) Show, by an example, that the separation hypothesis cannot be dispensed with.
(3) Give an example of a non-separated space in which singletons are closed.
(4) Show that the intersection of all open sets containing r is {x}.
(5) Give an example of a non-separated space in which the previous result holds.
