Question

The sequence of numbered images depicting a walk cycle below, image number 4 is missing. Of the four options given, select the correct image. 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

In walk cycles, frame 4 is typically the passing position—where both legs are closest together and the body transitions weight.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Observing the walk cycle progression.
Frames 1, 2, and 3 show the body leaning forward with the left leg preparing to move backward and the right leg preparing to lift. Frame 5 shows the next major pose after the passing position. Therefore frame 4 must be the *passing* pose where one leg crosses the other.

Step 2: Matching the correct passing pose.
Option C shows the correct body posture: - Weight shifted to the supporting leg, - Opposite leg swinging forward, - Arms transitioning between forward and backward motion. This matches the natural movement between frames 3 and 5. Options A, B, and D show poses that are either too early or too late in the walk sequence.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the missing frame 4 is best represented by Option C.
