Which description matches the movement described as demi-plié et relevé, et grand plié en seconde, première, cinquième devant et cinquième derrière avec cambré devant et derrière?

Which description matches the movement described as demi-plié et relevé, et grand plié en seconde, première, cinquième devant et cinquième derrière avec cambré devant et derrière?

• A. A half bending movement, a rise, and a large bending movement in second, first, and fifth in front and fifth behind with an arch forward and backward
• B. A turning combination on an upraised beat in fifth position
• C. A gentle sway of arms with no knee bending
• D. A quick jump with a tight turnout

Answer: (B)

This item is testing your ability to identify a sequence that combines knee bending, rise, and spinal cambré in specific positions. The description that matches is the one that talks about a half bending movement (demi-plié) with a rise (relevé), followed by a grand plié in second, first, and both fifth positions, with cambré forward and backward. That precisely reflects performing demi-plié, then relevé, then a grand plié in the listed positions, and finishing with a forward and backward arch of the torso. Why this fits best: demi-plié and relevé are about bending the knees and then rising, while grand plié expands the bend in multiple positions, including en seconde, en premiere, et en cinquième devant et cinquième derrière. Cambré devant et derrière adds the forward and backward archer of the torso, tying the whole movement together as a bending sequence with spinal arching. The other descriptions describe different ideas that don’t match this sequence: turning on an upraised beat suggests a turning exercise, a gentle sway with no knee bend misses the bending component, and a quick jump with tight turnout describes a jump rather than a plié and cambré sequence.
