Number one talks about one life.
Number two talks about three lives |

I think number 1 is better,even to avoid repetition of (a).
As far as the meaning is concerned , I think it �s the same |

First,why do you call it childish? It �s a very interesting question.
Both sentences are correct.The most common is the first one;but we can use the second one for emphatic.

harim - you �re spot on with your analysis. No 2 is more emphatic than no 1, but no 1 is more commonly used.
You �re also right that it �s not a childish question - it is interesting!
Try to be a little more self confident miss noor!
