dropdown and local storage issues

I have a drop down with several options. On page refresh i need the option that was previously selected to be selected again.

Here is my javascript.

A button press initiates saveQ1(id) function when the page loads it initiates loadQ1() function

//Save answer 1 to LocalStorage
        function saveQ1(id) {
        var answer = [document.getElementById("answer1").selectedIndex].value;
        localStorage.setItem('savequestion4656290', answer);
        }

         function loadQ1() {
        //if something was already saved....
        if (localStorage.getItem('savequestion4656290')) {
        var answer = localStorage.getItem('savequestion4656290');
        } else {
        var answer = ' ';
        }

//Put Answer 1 back in to box
        //I NEED SOMETHING HERE WHICH CHOOSES THE CORRECT OPTION (as remembered by local storage)       
         }

What should go in the end part to make the previously saved choice display. Im not even sure its saving properly. Thanks

If I'm reading this correctly you need to add a line like

var answer1 = document.getElementByID("answer1");
answer1.selectedIndex = answer
