It is awkward having the combo boxes be on opposite ends of the window. We can put them both together on the bottom if we first insert them in a JPanel. A JPanel uses a FlowLayout manager - meaning items just fit in the panel from left to right - they don't get put in NORTH, SOUTH, etc., and there is no contentPane to worry about in a JPanel. See PanelComboBoxDrawing.
Check out the "GUI cheat sheet" in the documentation section of the course web page for a good summary of how to use GUI components in your program!
