Which term means 'Placed or posed'?

• A. Chassé
• B. Posé
• C. Devant
• D. Derrière

Answer: (B)

Posé is the term that means "placed" or "posed." In ballet vocabulary, posé describes the action of placing the working foot on the floor into a defined position with control, finishing a movement with a solid, held placement. It emphasizes where the foot sits on the floor rather than movement across the space. Chassé refers to a gliding step where one foot chases the other, not a final placement. Devant and derrière indicate location relative to the body—in front of and behind—without describing the act of placing the foot. So the term that matches "placed or posed" is posé.
