Getting error in -> ● should allow user to change country.

```
 FAIL  src/components/App.test.js
  ● should allow user to change country

    expect(received).toBe(expected) // Object.is equality

    Expected: true
    Received: false

      27 |     screen.getByRole('option', {name: 'Ireland'}),
      28 |   )
    > 29 |   expect(screen.getByRole('option', {name: 'Ireland'}).selected).toBe(true)
         |                                                                  ^
      30 | })
