I was wondering how to get the selected option in dropdown menu.

 \<% @quiz.codes.each do |code| %\> \<%= simple\_format code.code %\> \<%= simple\_format code.notes %\> \<%= form\_with(model: [code, code.student\_answers.build], local: true) do |form| %\> 

```
								<%= form.select(:correct_answer_ids, code.correct_answers.pluck(:variable, :variable), {prompt: 'Choose variable'}, class: 'answer-variable')%>
								<%= form.select(:correct_answer_ids, code.correct_answers.pluck(:role, :role), {prompt: 'Choose role'}, class: 'answer-role')%>
							</p>
							<% end %>
						</td>
					</tr>
				<% end %>
			</tbody>
```
