Every sentence that follows the topic sentence will in some way support or prove the controlling idea. If it doesn't support the idea then it shouldn't be in the paragraph!

The <em>controlling idea</em> in a piece of text tells the reader how the paragraph is held together. It indicates the structure of the paragraph in order to help the reader comprehend the relationship between the various sentences in the paragraph.

Take this statement as an example:

<em />

<em>World War I was a dark event in the annals of human history; millions of people died, and many beautiful landscapes were destroyed.</em>

By analyzing key phrases inside the statement such as dark event, people died, and landscapes were destroyed, one can tell that the controlling idea in the text is the dire consequences of World War I.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

√You would not walk away while someone was talking without saying anything → to explain how one can strengthen personal relationships.

√This habit is hurting relationships and shortening attention spans → to explain why attention to one's phone can hurt relationships.

√Without eye contact, it is nearly impossible to be fully engaged in the conversation → to provide a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones.

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.
