Explanation:

The sentence shows a contrast between "he" (a lively talker) and "she" (implied to be less talkative as the children are different as day and night). An inference context clue is used where the reader infers the meaning of "taciturn" (likely meaning quiet or not talkative) from the contrast with "lively talker" and the overall context of the children being different.
