Hi there @jolka-ef , and thank you for your contribution to MDN! What you added was fine, but I've offered a suggestion that I feel makes it a little clearer, plus I've also suggested an extra sentence that provides another bit of information that was missing. Let me know what you think!

| The above example shows typical `<select>` usage. It is given an `id` attribute to enable it to be associated with a {{htmlelement("label")}} for accessibility purposes, as well as a `name` attribute to represent the name of the associated data point submitted to the server. Each menu option is defined by an {{htmlelement("option")}} element nested inside the `<select>`. | |||

| Each `<option>` element should have a [`value`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/option#value) attribute containing the data value to submit to the server when that option is selected. If no `value` attribute is included, the value defaults to the text contained inside the element. You can include a [`selected`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/option#selected) attribute on an `<option>` element to make it selected by default when the page first loads. | |||

@chrisdavidmills Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. If multiple because if I understand the specification correctly, that's not usage they encourage. A select element whose multiple attribute is not specified must not have more than one descendant option element with its selected attribute set. |
