<div id="selected">
<p>Red</p>
<p>White</p>
<p>Green</p>
<p>Black</p>
<p>Blue</p>
<p>Orange</p>
</div>
</body>

Sample Solution:

HTML Code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js"></script>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

<p>White</p>
<p>Green</p>
<p>Black</p>
<p>Blue</p>
<p>Orange</p>
