Write 2 sentences using the word among, and 2 sentences using the word between.?

Question

The sentences have to do with The Odyssey.

Answer 1

Are you referring to the Odyssey of Homer?
If so, here they are:.
1) The one-eyed creature divided a large apple between his two small animals.
1a) The large eye of the slim Cyclops is located between his big nose and his hairy scalp.
2) Ulysses divided a small apple among his three muscular soldiers.
2a) Odysseus who was the king of Ithaca was very popular among his obedient subjects.
Rule:
Use "between" when you are referring to two.
Use "among" when referring to three or more.

Answer 2

Ahhh, you haven't done your reading ! Odyssey can be a bit tiring but at least read the synopses on Wiki then you can get a couple of legitimate sentences !

Answer 3

There used to be many Jews in Iraq. However, all Muslim countries - except Iran - kicked out their Jewish populations many years ago. And even prior to this, the Jews, and other non Muslims, were not given the same rights and freedoms as the Muslim population; they were very much second class citizens. In Saudi Arabia, it is still today illegal to own or use a bible, for example.

Answer 4

Between and among are both prepositions; usage depends on what kind of subject (how many) you're referring to.

AMONG = 2 things (a couple)
He was between a rock and a hard place.
I sat between the two girls.

AMONG = more than 2 things (a few)
There is a spy among us.
Check among the papers on your desk to see if the misplaced memo is there.

From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/between:

between

In the position or interval that separates (two things), or intermediate in quantity or degree. (See the Usage notes below.)

***Between is correctly used when applied to two things. For more than two things, use among or amongst.***
