To select an object means to click on it with the mouse after selecting the 
Move Tool.
If you want to select several objects at the same time, you could draw a selection rectangle. At first select the Move Tool.
Then you have following options:
- if you are using a mouse, double-click (or right-click, if you are using a Windows OS) on the position of the first corner of your desired selection rectangle and hold the mouse button. Then move the pointer to the position of the diagonally opposite corner of your desired selection rectangle. After releasing the mouse button, all objects within the selection rectangle are selected.
- if you are using a Touch Screen, double-tap or long-tap on the position of the first corner of your desired selection rectangle. Then move the pointer to the position of the diagonally opposite corner of your desired selection rectangle. After releasing, all objects within the selection rectangle are selected.
Note: By holding Ctrl (Mac OS: Cmd) while clicking on different objects, you can select several objects at the same time.
