Select an element with shared properties on same page

[AutomationDevCypress]

I am trying to select a dropdown value on a page. when inspect i am getting 2 elements with same properties on page and only want to select from the very first dropdown. Following is the elements properties
MTD YTD Today Yesterday Last Month

When inspect i am getting another element on same page with the only difference is css="2"

In my code this is what i am trying to achieve
cy.get('select[name="WRQSperiod"]').select('YTD') but i am getting an error
cy.select() can only be called on a single . Your subject contained 2 elements

You can try selecting the first select of the elements found

cy.get('select[name="WRQSperiod"]').first().select('YTD')
// or
cy.get('select[name="WRQSperiod"]').eq(0).select('YTD')

Or by specifying the css value

cy.get('select[name="WRQSperiod"][css="1"]').eq(0).select('YTD')
