Read the following excerpt from "Did You Really Just Post That Photo?" by Kristin Lewis:

There is no way to know for sure if the photos you posted on Facebook (you know, the ones that got you grounded) are the reason you were denied [college admission]. But you'll always be haunted by the possibility that the college found them.

The fact is, an increasing number of colleges are looking up applicants on social-media sites like Facebook and YouTube. If they don't like what they find out about you, you could miss out on a scholarship or even get rejected.

Colleges aren't the only ones scouring the Internet for your name either. Potential employers are looking too. An inappropriate photo can cost you a job, whether it's the babysitting gig you're hoping to land next week or the internship you will apply for five years from now.

Which of the following is a direct quotation that could be used for note-taking purposes?

Applicants use social media to research potential colleges and jobs.
Potential employers are looking up applicants online to help make hiring decisions.
Social media can negatively impact a user's college and job prospects.
"The fact is, an increasing number of colleges are looking up applicants on social-media sites like Facebook and YouTube."
