Infinite series questions for calculus?

Which of the following statements are true?

I. The limit of the nth term of a divergent sequence is always infinity.

II. Every bounded sequence is convergent.

III. If the limit of a series is equal to 0 then the series is convergent.

I only

II only

III only

None of these

All of these

Determine which one of the following tests can be used to show that the harmonic series diverges.

Geometric Series Test

nth term test

Telescopic Series Test

Integral Test

None of these

Im pretty sure the first answer is II only and the last answer is integral test. Please just help me out!

    Integral test, at some point, the sequence continues to get smaller and smaller so we can take the integral of the remainder which is the ln function. The ln function diverges.

    no, II only is not correct, Proof by Counter Example: the bounded sequence (-1)^k does not converge. It diverges because it oscillates.
