Choose a finite generating set for . Under the standard classification of connected covering spaces, each is represented by a based combinatorial loop in . Let be the union of the images of these finitely many finite edge paths. Then is a finite connected subgraph containing .
Part (b) makes the inclusion-induced map
injective. Its image contains every , because every lies in , and therefore contains the subgroup they generate, namely all of . The map is consequently an isomorphism.
