Stove selection (5)
I believe the answer is:
range
'stove' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Number of items in a series" , "Ramble" , "Amplitude" , "Variation within limits" , "1 across [CLASSIFY]" .)
