Last month I inaugurated a new way to improve your writing skills: Decide which of two similar sentences is better. Then look below at the answer key and compare your choices with mine. This month we continue with the sequel, Decide Which is Better II.
Decide Which is Better II
Read Sentence A and Sentence B. Then, decide which you think is better. Then look below for my opinion:

Sentence A: I learned a lot from John about delivering mail.
Sentence B: I learned a lot about delivering mail from John.
