Iterate array of hashes and display in dropdown in ruby

Question

my array of hash is the below one.

[{"status"=>"Submitted", "reachable"=>false}, 
{"status"=>"Replied", "reachable"=>false}, 
{"status"=>"Answered", "reachable"=>false}, 
{"status"=>"Assigned", "reachable"=>false}, 
{"status"=>"Started", "reachable"=>true}, 
{"status"=>"Closed", "reachable"=>false}, 
{"status"=>"Canceled", "reachable"=>true}]

I need the " status " values and display them in a dropdown in a html with embedded ruby code. Can anyone of you let me know the sample code ? I am pretty much new to ruby and getting confused alot in iterations and displaying the values in the dropdown.

Yes as below:

array = [{"status"=>"Submitted", "reachable"=>false}, 
        {"status"=>"Replied", "reachable"=>false}, 
        {"status"=>"Answered", "reachable"=>false}, 
        {"status"=>"Assigned", "reachable"=>false}, 
        {"status"=>"Started", "reachable"=>true}, 
        {"status"=>"Closed", "reachable"=>false}, 
        {"status"=>"Canceled", "reachable"=>true}]

p array.map{|h| h["status"] }
# >> ["Submitted", "Replied", "Answered", "Assigned", "Started", "Closed", "Canceled"]
