Treehouse TeacherHi Caroline Freeman , thanks for your question!
From my understanding, it would seem that you are on Task 2 of 4 in the challenge. Task 2 asks for options to be added within the select menu.
While your example does showcase this, the script in place to check answers is looking for <option>s to be nested directly under <select>. As you currently have some optgroups, the script isn't registering these as correct.
All you need to do is remove the optgroup and just ave the options and you'll be good to go!
