Suppose a path-connected space had a separation $X=U\cup V$ as above. Choose $u\in U$, $v\in V$, and a continuous path $\gamma$ joining them. The nonempty disjoint sets ${\gamma }^{-1}(U)$ and ${\gamma }^{-1}(V)$ would separate $[0,1]$, contradicting connectedness of an interval. Hence path-connectedness implies connectedness. Equivalently, the connected path image from part (i) cannot meet both sides of a separation.
