A. There would be no impact on the passage
B. It would lack balance, due to overemphasis on the positive aspects of teaching chores
C. It would lose a critical link to the final paragraph
D. It would make the entire passage less convincing
Explanation: The idea of the last paragraph, and to a certain extent the passage, is that kids should be made to do chores to help them grow. Removing this sentence would dilute this message. A and E are incorrect. B and D are not relevant points here.
