Answer: (D)

In this Cecchetti sequence, the test is about linking a short leap phrase with the correct footwork and a final foot change. The phrase starts with a jeté, a leap that sets the motion and prepares the body for the subsequent steps. Following the leap, a temps levé reinforces the light, controlled jump into the next portion and keeps the body in correct alignment. After the initial jump, coupé dessous and coupé dessus are the crucial transitions that move the working leg around the ankle to set up the next steps. Those two coupés lead into the pas de chat, a light, cat-like transfer of weight that uses the prep from the coupés to execute the jump smoothly and without breaking line. Finishing with a changement de pied completes the figure by switching weight to the other foot, which is a common way to end a Cecchetti phrase in Grade 2, showing control, balance, and readiness to begin again. The other options omit essential parts of this exact sequence or cut out steps that are necessary for the flow and alignment of the phrase.
