Here are two versions of a sentence with the same meaning. Which would be more appropriate? Thanks

A. The robbers used white cloths to cover their noses and mouths.

or

B. The robbers covered their noses and mouths with white cloths.

Or any other better way of expressing it? A billion thanks again for helping! T_T

They're both fine. Which is better for your purpose depends on the context.

As long as the sentence is clear and grammatical, no one else but you can decide whether or not the arrangement of words expresses exactly what you want to say.


Cheers

John.
