Which term is the arm position described as 'Quatrième en haut'?

• A. Quatrième en avant
• B. Troisième
• C. Quatrième en haut
• D. Cinquième en haut

Answer: (C)

In Cecchetti, arm positions are named by number and direction, and “en haut” signals an overhead raised position. The description given points to the fourth-position arm raised above the head, which is exactly the term used for that pose. So naming it as “Quatrième en haut” is the correct match. The other terms describe different alignments—quatrième en avant is a raised fourth position directed forward, troisieme is a different, lower or forward-reaching arrangement, and cinquième en haut is a distinct high-overhead position—so they don’t match the described pose.
