Web of trust assigning level of trust to someone's public key without directly signing it's key

Having this web of trust scheme, I have a question concerning third scenario in which we assign Dharma and Chloe a marginal trust. In case of Dharma the situation is clear, we sign her public key and assign our marginal trust in it. But how physically we can assign a marginal trust in Chloe's public key when we don't sign her key? Am I missing something?

To be honest, I don't get how to interpret above at all. Do you have a source for this so we can have a look at the context?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
