Cou de pied translates to which English phrase?

• A. Above
• B. Gliding movement
• C. Neck of the foot
• D. Backwards

Answer: (C)

This item tests familiarity with ballet vocabulary in French. Cou de pied literally means the neck of the foot, referring to the place where the foot rests on the leg just above the ankle, with the toes pointed along the leg. This term is used to describe a specific foot placement rather than a movement or direction, as you might see in surfaces like sur le cou-de-pied. Other ideas described by the options relate to direction or movement rather than the placement of the foot, so they don’t fit. The translation you’re aiming for is neck of the foot.
