Answer 1

To determine how many "heads high" the woman is, we need to consider the proportions of her body based on the typical divisions used in art and anatomy. A common approach is to use the average height of the head as a unit of measurement.

1. The typical divisions of the human body can be broken down as follows:
   • Bottom of foot to mid-calf (1 head)
   • Mid-calf to knee (1 head)
   • Knee to mid-thigh (1 head)
   • Mid-thigh to hip joint (1 head)
   • Hip joint to chest (1 head)
   • Chest to chin (1 head)
   • Chin to top of head (1 head)

Adding these divisions gives us: 1 (foot to mid-calf) + 1 (mid-calf to knee) + 1 (knee to mid-thigh) + 1 (mid-thigh to hip) + 1 (hip to chest) + 1 (chest to chin) + 1 (chin to top of head) = 7 heads high.

Therefore, the correct answer is 7.
