In order to emphasize the contrast between a sunrise and the author’s attitude, the latter wants to use two adjectives that are derived from the same root word. which choice best accomplishes this goal?

sunrises are, i admit, generally very majestic. but usually (if i have my way) anything that occurs before 8 a. m. is wasted on me. when the sun begins his incredible ascent, i prefer to be an inglorious huddle of sheets, crusted with sleep and willfully blind.

choose 1
[a] no change
[b] glorious ascent, i prefer to be an inglorious
[c] glorious ascent, i prefer to be a ragged
[d] stunning ascent, i prefer to be a pitiful
