Which term translates to 'Second carriage of the arms'?

• A. Seconde port de bras
• B. Second carriage of the arms
• C. Port de bras
• D. Troisième port de bras

Answer: (A)

In Cecchetti, the arm positions are named in French and described as a carrying of the arms called “port de bras.” When a number is added, it specifies which position you’re talking about: première, seconde, troisième, and so on. The second carriage of the arms is therefore called “seconde port de bras.” This is the exact French term that translates to “second carriage of the arms.”

The other options don’t fit because one is the general term for arm carriage (port de bras) without a specific ordinal, another refers to a different numbered position (troisième = third), and the last uses English instead of the Cecchetti French terminology.
