Answer 1

To select all the elements from multiple e.g. two (2) different drop-down-select elements within the website https://price.joinsland.joins.com/theme/index_theme.asp?sisaegbn=T05 you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following xpath based Locator Strategies:

driver.get('https://price.joinsland.joins.com/theme/index_theme.asp?sisaegbn=T05')
select1 = Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//select[@name='sido']"))))
for item1 in select1.options:
    item1.click()
    select2 = Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//select[@name='gugun']"))))
    for item2 in select2.options:
        item2.click()
        time.sleep(3) # perform your web-crawling here
