Read the paragraph below and choose two options that best show the author's point of view regarding why people follow influencers.

Instagram influencer fame is not limited to celebrities and reality TV stars. Many regular people have found fame—and sometimes fortune—as well. Erica Gibbs, a thirtysomething wife and mother of three, follows dozens of fashion and lifestyle influencers on Instagram. “I buy a lot of stuff based on what these girls share. That’s how I keep up with the trends. At least I think I do,” Gibbs explains. Her favorites aren’t celebrities but rather seemingly-ordinary people like Jennifer Reed with The Sister Studio. “[I] love her style and she is so down to earth. And she shares affordable stuff. And she’ll tell you if she doesn’t like something. Her stories are hilarious!” Gibbs says she also enjoys posts by Brittany Garcia because “she’s more my size.”

• People follow influencers because they like their style.

• People follow influencers as a way to keep up with what’s trendy.

• People follow influencers because they like the companies they advertise for.

• People follow influencers because they are well-liked celebrities.
