I know that in ${\mathbb R}^n$ (as in any Hausdorff space), a path-connected subset $A$ is automatically arc-connected also.

Is it also true that, given any finite subset $B$ of $A$, there is an arc passing through all the points of $B$?

No, consider a cross in $\mathbb{R}^2$ as $A$ and the set of its four endpoints as $B$.

    I slightly changed the word order in your sentence because, at first, I had some trouble parsing the sentence. If you dislike it, just change it back. +1 anyway2012-12-05
