Heine–Borel in R2\mathbb{R}^2: the parabola is unbounded, the sine curve not closed

Which of the following subsets of R2\mathbb{R}^2 are not compact? (i) a circle; (ii) a parabola; (iii) S={(x,y)∈R2:y=sin⁡1x,0<x≤1}S=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2:y=\sin\tfrac1x, 0<x\le1\}; (iv) T={(x,y)∈R2:∣x∣+∣y∣=4}T=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2:|x|+|y|=4\}.
