Which is the English equivalent of 'Première'?

Explanation:
In ballet vocabulary, French ordinals are used to name positions and orders, with feminine endings for feminine nouns. Premières is the feminine form of premier, meaning first. So the English equivalent is First. The other options would translate from French as second (deuxième), third (troisième), or fourth (quatrième), which are not what Premières represents.
