If none of the previous solution are working for you, why not add some validation on combobox something like,

    var orginalindex = 0;

    private void comboBox1_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (comboBox1.SelectedIndex == 0)
        {
            comboBox1.Text = "Select one of the answers";
            comboBox1.SelectedIndex = comboBox1.SelectedIndex;
        }
        else
        {
            orginalindex = comboBox1.SelectedIndex;
        }
    }
