Anil is correct. They mean the closing select tag to be more specific.

Ahh I see it! I added three back-ticks ``` before and after the code so that it will show up. Anytime you add a code snippet, no matter how small, be sure to surround it in the back-ticks otherwise it won't show up properly. Checkout the markdown cheatsheet for a refresher if needed. You can also preview your comment to make sure it's displaying how you want before you post the comment. :)
