I'll say what I edited. I change the 11 at the start of the for loop to correctAnswer.length. I changed the if like you wanted. Lastly, I lowered the name of all the selects by one to make it work better.
Edit: now grab the code again, earlier it was erasing all the [i ]'s changing them to make my text italic.
