&l         


        

Answer 1

There is no need of total traversing back to the parent one after the other in a hierarchy, you can just do use parents() instead of parent() in this way

$('.selected').parents('ul.lowerMenu').children(:first-child').addClass('selected');

Try it this is working!!
