Answer 1

答：前面都对.最后一个问题不好回答.
in the middle 强调位置关系.两者可以不是同类关系.如人在池子的中央.
among 两者多为同类,有one of ...的意思.
一般对between 和among作对比：

1Among is used of people or things
considered as a group *among用於指作为一整体的人或事物:Share out
the books among the class.把书分发给全班.* They talked
among themselves while they waited.他们一边等着一边互相谈话.* standing among the crowd at the football match
在人群中站着看足球比赛.
2Between is used of people or things,

disagreement between the two main political parties on this issue.
对这一问题,两大政党间有很大分歧.(Compare 试比较:There's a lot of
disagreement among politicians on this issue.对这一问题,
政治家们有很大分歧.)
among 也可以表示位置,可代替in the middle of,但in the middle of 不能代替among 表示之一.
