Which term means 'Assembled'?

• A. De suite
• B. Chassé
• C. Assemblé
• D. Pas de bourrée

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is ballet vocabulary and how the names reflect the action. Assemblé literally means "assembled" or "joined together." In this step, the working leg brushes out and then closes with the supporting leg in the air, so the dancer lands with the legs together on two feet. That act of bringing the legs together is exactly what the term conveys, which is why it’s the correct choice. The other terms describe different actions—chassé is a sliding step, pas de bourrée is a three-step pattern—and one option isn’t a standard Cecchetti term, so they don’t fit the meaning of "assembled."
