Which one is more proper ; select from vs. select from among
I wonder about which form is more proper between select something from A (plural numbers) and select something among A (plural numbers).
I also want to know when you can use "select something from among A (plural numbers)".
Thanks for your tips as always

1. full time MBA students select among 18 majors including options for an individualized major. (question : can you subsitute select from for the select among used in this sentence)
2. you may select from slapstick, romantic movies, family and silent f

Is it correct to use "from among" with verbs like: "love", "like", etc., to express and emphasise preference of one object over others? E.g., could we say/write:
"From among a great number of people, we like only certain ones, and not others"
or should we say/write:
"Among a great number of people, we like only certain ones, and not others"
Which one would be correct
