  A:
  
  You can simply add element as follows
  Hear I assume there is a model call Entry and it contain two field call :name and :temperature. So I give this example to illustrate drop down menu for select temperature. It may have three values (Hot,Medium,Cold) and this is how we have to write the code
  <% form_for @entry do |f| %>
    <%= f.text_field :name %>
    <%= f.select :temperature, [['Hot','hot'],['Medium','medium'],['Cold','cold']] %>
    <%= f.submit %>
  <% end %>
