= Solution

\b[True.] For $u,v\in f(M)$ choose preimages $x,y\in M$. A <path> $\gamma:[0,1]\to M$ joining $x$ to $y$ exists because $M$ is <path-connected>. The <composition of continuous functions> $f\circ\gamma$ is a <path> in $f(M)$ from $u$ to $v$.
$$
\boxed{M\text{ path-connected}\Longrightarrow f(M)\text{ path-connected}.}
$$
<Surjectivity> onto a larger target is unnecessary because the conclusion concerns the image itself.
