How do I embed javascript code within razor?

Questions
1

Hello:

I have a foreach loop that I have some javascript in. It does not recognize the javascript and script, but as razor code. How do I denote that the chunk is javascript? 

                  @foreach(var contact in Model.inquiryContacts)
                  {
                    if(selectedOption == @contact.inquiry){
                       alert(@contact.inquiry);
                    }
                  }

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thank you.
