ii) The neighbour of every leaf is a cut-vertex.

iii) Every line graph of a bipartite graph is 2-colourable

iv)equation is a graphic sequence then so is equation

v)equation

vi) A Hamiltonian graph has no cut-vertices.

i) True. Degrees: $3,3,3,2,2,2,2,1$ sum to $18$ (even) and Havel–Hakimi succeeds: $[3,3,3,2,2,2,2,1]\to[2,2,2,2,1,1]\to[2,1,1,1,1]\to[1,1,0,0]\to[0,0,0,0]$. Hence the sequence is graphic, so such an 8-vertex graph exists. ii) False. Counterexample: $K_2$ (two vertices joined by an edge). Each vertex is a leaf and the neighbour of a leaf is the other vertex; removing that neighbour leaves one vertex (still one component), so it is not a cut-vertex.
