Answer 1

Between usamos geralmente quando se está entre duas pessoas/coisas, enquanto among serve para indicar que está no meio de várias pessoas/coisas. Mas para não confundir, saiba que quando indicamos TODAS as pessoas/coisas que estão próximas, enumerando-as, usamos between, enquanto AMONG serve quando não citamos nenhuma delas (ou seja, generalidades).
