Hi I am not an instructor but I will give you line references from Passages A and B to support choice E.

What in .moral terms is a matter of honesty or dishonesty?plagiarism being .dishonest?is instead reduced to "the cultural location of the text and .the position of the author."
The above quote is from Passage A. This states that plagiarism is being reduced to cultural location of the text and the position of the author, which are changing over time. This quote gives rise to Passage A’s support for choice E


And it is also true that there has .been some shoddy scholarship that anachronistically projects .modern-day ideologies having to do with gender, race, or class onto .historically remote controversies.
The above quote is from Passage B. This states that there has been some shoddy (bad) scholarship that anachronistically (backward in time) projects modern day ideologies onto historically remote (old) controversies (referring to old moral standards). This quote gives support from Passage B for choice E.

Hope that helps. Please feel free to correct me.

Thank you.
