Hi, Eugene. I believe they want you to add a 'label' element tag for the select menu. It should be place directly above the menu and tied to the select menu using the 'for' attribute that matches the 'id' attribute of the select menu. Here's part of the code. I left question marks where the label tags go, and where the value of the 'for' attribute (that should match the 'id' attribute value in the following line) goes. If this doesn't make sense, let me know.

<form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <??? for="???">Shirt Color</???>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
          <option value="red">Red</option>
          <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
          <option value="purple">Purple</option>
          <option value="blue">Blue</option>
          <option value="green">Green</option>
          <option value="orange">Orange</option>
      </select>
  </form>
