Can You Match A Reference To The Resource Type? Trivia Quiz

Explanation
There are four clues to this resource type: 1) the chapter title ("Leadership giftedness: Is it innate or can it be developed"); 2) the editor's name; 3) The title of the book (International handbook on giftedness); 4) the DOI (which usually indicates an electronic resource).

Explanation
There are two clues to this resource type: 1) The title of the newspaper (The New York Times); 2) the home page URL of the newspaper.

Explanation
The clue to this resource type is the inclusion of "Retrieved from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency website".

In this case, BC Hydro was the author, but the publisher was the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency website. For more information, see How do I reference a report in APA style?.

Explanation
A clue in this reference is "n.d." (no date), which is often provided for web pages since web pages may not show a publication date.
