In the following two groups of sentences, is the first sentence of the two groups always better than the latter? namely is sentence 1 and a always better than 2,3 and b,c. I mean, to my knowledge, 1 and a (which have "with" structures) are a more compact sentence structure and sound more idiomatic. So maybe the sentence 2,3 and b,c are all correct, but they might not as good as sentence 1 and a to the English native speakers' ear So, please help me with this. Thanks very much!
