I can't figure out how to draw the structure of beta-valerolactone. Since it's beta I thought it would have a four mem-ring but when I do this I keep getting it wrong. It says the 5 carbons are supposed to be arranged in a linear chain, help please!

That only gives the structure for gamma and delta
You didn't look at all of the sites. One gives the beta. It's a ring.
Got it, thank you!
