Does there exist a second-countable locally connected space with no countable basis of connected sets?

Space $X$ is called locally connected if it has a basis consisting of connected sets. It's called second-countable if it has a countable basis. If $X$ is both locally connected and second-countable, ...

$f:I\rightarrow X$ where $X$ is hausdorff show that $X$ is metrizable.

This question comes from section 44 problem 4 of Munkres. Let $X$ be a Hausdorff space. Let $I=[0,1]$. Show that if there is a continuous surjective map $f : I \rightarrow X$, then $X$ is compact, ...

Does every Lie group have at most countably many connectected components?

Some proofs in a lecture I took were motivated by this statement that "some people don't assume second countability when they define a topological manifold, but for Lie groups we get this ...

Topological properties of Sorgenfrey line.

Consider $\mathbb R$ with lower limit topology (generated by taking $[a,b)$ intervals as basis).The topological space thus generated is called Sorgenfrey line.What are some interesting properties of ...

Countable basis but uncountably many connected components

Looking for some guidance on two topology questions: (a) Show that a locally connected space with a countable basis, has at most countably many connected components. (b) Give an example when X has ...

Does there exist a Connected Locally Euclidean Space that is not second countable?

A problem in Lee's Introduction to Topological Manifolds got me thinking about this question. I can easily construct a locally euclidean space that is not second countable, by taking a disjoint union ...
