Question
**Exercise 3.** Are the following subsets of the real line with its usual topology (in which \(U \subset \mathbb{R}\) is open if and only if for every \(x \in U\) there is \(\epsilon > 0\) with \((x - \epsilon, x + \epsilon) \subset U\)) open, closed, both or neither? Explain.

1. \([1, 3]\);
2. \((1, 3) \cup (5, \infty)\);
3. \((-\infty, \infty)\);
4. \(\left\{\frac{1}{n} : n \in \mathbb{N}\right\} \cup \{0\}\);
5. The set \(\mathbb{Q}\) of rationals.
