Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

Given $V$ is the vector space of all real-valued functions defined on the interval $[a, b]$, and $S$ is the subset of $V$ We can write set $S$ as $S=\{f \in V:f(a)=1\}$. We can notice that $S=\{f:[a,b] \rightarrow R$ given by $f(x)=0 \forall x \in [a,b] \notin S$. Hence $S$ is not a subspace of $V$
