Scenario: I want to automate: "https://www.dummyticket.com/dummy-ticket-for-visa-application/" , this page, I am able to interact with every web-element except a certain DropBox, where the XPATH is very difficult for me to find, I have tried many ways (using SelectorHub + Chropath) nothing lets my code interact with that item.
My Requirement is simple: I want to interact with that dropbox, and want to select "Visa extension".
Please help me find & teach to find the right XPATH, I shall be very thankful.

This I tried but it’s not working, kindly help me using my format of code, thank-you
>Solution :
That drop down is a special element called "Select".
Selenium has special feature to select this Select options by index, by value or by visible text.
Here I used the visible text approach.
The following code works:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
url = "https://www.dummyticket.com/dummy-ticket-for-visa-application/"
driver.get(url)
select = Select(wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "reasondummy"))))
select.select_by_visible_text('Visa extension')
The result is
