XPath Without Selector

Question

Suppose I have following code:

<div class="Class">
<h3>First Title H3</h3>
    First Description <br />
    Choose Option:
    <select id="Id" name="Name">
       <option value="Value1">Option1 $Price1</option>
       <option value="Value2">Option2 $Price2</option>
       <option value="Value3">Option3 $Price3</option>
    </select>
<h3>Second Title H3</h3>
    Second Description <a href="https://www.example.com/">Link</a>
</div>

What's the Xpath to print "First Description" only?
What's the XPath to print "$Price1" only (without/exclude "Option1")? Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure what is your desired output, but here is what should help you.

following-sibling::text() would help you to check the First Description:

//div/h3[contains(following-sibling::text(), "First Description")]

For the first option of the select tag, I would rely on the select's id attribute and option's value attribute:

//select[@id="Id"]/option[@value="Value1"]/text()

String value = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@value ='Value1']").getText();

String strarr[] = value.split(" ");

System.out.println("Price1 :"+ strarr[1]);

I think this will work, we are finding the text and splitting with space.
