douglas, nancy. \ice cream cone cupcakes.\ cooks.com. the fournet information network, n.d. web. 10 may 2010. book dropdown
the purdue owl family of sites. the writing lab and owl at purdue and purdue u, 2009. web. 10 may 2010. book dropdown
butler, sarah lorge. \made of mettle.\ runner’s world. oct. 2008: 21-22. print. dropdown with options: book, web page, website, magazine article
clark, ruth colvin. developing technical training. 2nd ed. silver spring, md: institution for performance improvement, 1999. print. dropdown

Explanation:

First Citation (Douglas, Nancy. "Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes." Cooks.com...):

The citation has a web source (Cooks.com, Web) but the dropdown was set to "book" which is incorrect. However, if we re - evaluate, since it's a specific article - like content on a website, but the initial dropdown was wrong. But based on the options given (though the initial choice was wrong), if we correct, it's a web - related source, but the original wrong choice was "book". But maybe the question is about the dropdown correction? Wait, no, the user is asking to identify the type. Wait, the first citation: "Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes" on Cooks.com, web - based. But the dropdown is set to book, which is wrong. But maybe the question is about the third citation (Butler, Sarah Lorge. "Made of Mettle." Runner's World. Oct. 2008: 21 - 22. Print). Runner's World is a magazine, so the type is magazine article. The fourth citation: Clark, Ruth Colvin. Developing Technical Training. 2nd ed. Silver Spring, MD: [Publisher], 1999. Print. This is a book (since it's a published work with an edition, from a publisher, print format). Let's tackle each:

1. First citation: Douglas, Nancy. "Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes." Cooks.com. The FOURnet Information Network, n.d. Web. 10 May 2010. The type should be web page (since it's a single page on a website), but the dropdown is set to book (wrong). But maybe the question is about the dropdowns. Wait, the third citation (Butler) is from Runner's World (a magazine), October 2008, pages 21 - 22, print. So the type is magazine article. The fourth citation (Clark) is a book (2nd ed., publisher, print). The second citation: The Purdue Owl Family of Sites. The Writing Lab and OWL at Purdue and Purdue U, 2009. Web. 10 May 2010. This is a website (since it's the whole site, not a single page? Or web page? But the dropdown is set to book (wrong). But let's focus on the third and fourth:

• Third citation (Butler): "Made of Mettle" in Runner's World (magazine), October 2008, pages 21 - 22, print. So type is magazine article.
• Fourth citation (Clark): Developing Technical Training, 2nd ed., published by a company, print. So type is book.
• Second citation: The Purdue Owl Family of Sites (the whole site), web - based. So type is website (or web page, but the dropdown is set to book (wrong)).
• First citation: "Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes" on Cooks.com (a single page), web - based. So type is web page (dropdown set to book, wrong).

But the question says "For each citation example, identify the type of work being cited." Let's handle each:

1. Douglas, Nancy. "Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes." Cooks.com. The FOURnet Information Network, n.d. Web. 10 May 2010. Type: web page (dropdown was wrong, should be web page)
2. The Purdue Owl Family of Sites. The Writing Lab and OWL at Purdue and Purdue U, 2009. Web. 10 May 2010. Type: website (dropdown was wrong, should be website)
3. Butler, Sarah Lorge. "Made of Mettle." Runner's World. Oct. 2008: 21 - 22. Print. Type: magazine article
4. Clark, Ruth Colvin. Developing Technical Training. 2nd ed. Silver Spring, MD: [Publisher], 1999. Print. Type: book

But the dropdown for the third is open with options: book, web page, website, magazine article. So for the third, the correct option is magazine article. For the fourth, it's book. For the second, it's website (or web page, but the option has website). For the first, it's web page (but option has web page? Wait the dropdown for the third has book, web page, website, magazine article. So:

• Third citation (Butler): magazine article (because it's an article in a magazine (Runner's World), with a date (Oct. 2008) and page numbers)
• Fourth cita…

for third citation (Butler):
The work is an article in "Runner's World" (a magazine), with a publication date (Oct. 2008) and page numbers (21 - 22), and print format. So it's a magazine article.

for fourth citation (Clark):
The work is "Developing Technical Training" in its 2nd edition, published by a company, in print format. This fits the definition of a book (a published, bound work, often with editions).

Answer:

(third citation):
magazine article
