You do want to be careful about making unsupported inferences or straying too far from the text in the stimulus, but in this case, it’s not a very big leap to infer that Talbert advocates teaching children chess. They can’t reap its benefits without learning it. Moreover, the other answer choices are clearly out:

(A) Skylar doesn’t mention mental maturity.

(B) Same as with (A).

(C) Talbert doesn’t mention social value or science.

(E) is not something supported by either person.
