Questions 3, 4, and 16 could Goerings either way, but there are more than two objects, so among should be the correct option.

Dane Kiddie, Excuse me, but your prejudice and ignorance are showing. You are mistaken. "I" is a subjective pronoun. "Me" is a objective pronoun. We use "me" because it is the object of the preposition "between". The correct sentence is, "Between you and me." All prepositions require the use of the objective case: to me, with me, for me, behind me, through me, etc. The same applies to compound pronouns such as "you and me". A good trick with compounds is to remove the other pronoun. Does it sound right to say, " to I, with I, for I, behind I, or through I"? It doesn't, does it? The correct sentence is, "Between you and me." This is true for English when spoken worldwide; not just in America. BTW, please note the capitalization of "America". The same applies when referring to "Americans".

Pat Anne Hughes Everett, It's interesting that as an English teacher, you don't know when to use subjective and objective pronouns. "I" is a subjective pronoun. "Me" is a objective pronoun. We use "me" because it is the object of the preposition "between". The correct sentence is, "Between you and me." All prepositions require the use of the objective case: to me, with me, for me, behind me, through me, etc.

Eve , "I" is a subjective pronoun. "Me" is a objective pronoun. We use "me" because it is the object of the preposition "between".
