HTML HTML Forms Choosing Options Create a Select Menu

I have typed the following IN BETWEEN <form> and </form> : <button type="submit">Place Order</button> & it's wrong

I don't understand why it's wrong. I have typed the <button> element in between the opening and closing <form> tags and I'm told that I have to type the <button> element in the <form> element. I already have. What can I do? Is this a glitch? What am I doing wrong? This is frustrating.

You seem to be missing the </select> bit :)

Thanks, Kristiana. I skipped to the next part and saw where I didn't close <select>. I appreciate your help!
