The answer choice (E) does not assert that Alexander has advanced, but rather, that the historian has advanced a principle. The principle in question is that Alexander must be judged solely by the standards of his day. The student claims that, since Alexander cannot be said to have raised the contemporary standards of justice without invoking standards other than those of his culture, that the historian is being inconsistent by demanding that one of the criteria for judging Alexander invoke standards inconsistent with the historian's principle.

Hope that helps,
