Shuffled sentence - which one is better.

Question

Hi ,Could you please clarify , which one's correct / better sentence.1. Outside the temperature was very hot. VS The temperature outside was very hot.2. The window cleaner climbed a ladder vs A window cleaner climbed the ladder. ( If this was a question reordering words in shuffled sentence, would both sentences be correct ? The answer book says 'A window cleaner climbed the ladder' as correct. But I am trying to understand why the other is not correct).Thanks

Both are ok.

The second might be more usual.

Both are correct. All depends on the context.

'A window cleaner climbed the ladder'

e.g. An old rickety ladder was leaning against the wall of the house. It was probably put there the evening before. After an hour, a window cleaner climbed the ladder.

A man dressed in white overalls and carrying a bucket of water, sponges and squeegees approached the house. It was the scheduled window cleaner. The window cleaner climbed a ladder and began his job.
