Correct: sentences 2, 3, and 4.
Briefly:
- cite (verb) = to refer to or quote a source — sentence 2 is correct.
- site (noun) = a location/place — sentence 3 is correct.
- sight (noun) = something seen / the act of seeing — sentence 4 is correct.
Incorrect:
- Sentence 1 uses "sites" but should be "cites" (My reference cites five different authors).
- Sentence 5 uses "cite" but should be "site" (This website/web site has the best book prices).
