induced group actions and covering maps on Eilenberg-Maclane space
Let $M$ be a finite $CW$-complex. Let $\Sigma_k$ be the symmetric group acting on $k$-letters. Suppose there is a free action of $\Sigma_k$ on $M$. Then we have a covering map
$$
f:M\to M/\Sigma_k.

Inscribing a "chain" into an open cover
Let $X$ be a locally connected topological space, which is covered by open sets $\{U_{\alpha},\alpha\in A\}$ and let $C$ be an arc in $X$, i.e. a homeomorphic image of an interval.
Is it always ...
