Explanation:
I have been able to match the purpose of each statement from the text to the text statement itself.
The text statement in the 1st tile actually explains how one can strengthen personal relationships. The habit of walking away from people will strain relationships. The text statement in the 2nd tile explains that if one is obsessed with his phone without giving attention to people, it can actually hurt relationships. The text statement in the 3rd title actually provides a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones which says that eye contact is necessary and without it, one cannot fully engage in a conversation.
