Although both among and amid are prepositions and share the same meaning of “in the middle of something or being surrounded by something”, only among has an additional definition of “being included or happening in groups of things or people” (the OALD)


However, it appears that when reconnecting it, he made some mistakes. ..Among the machines affected were the new NS3, one of the primary name servers, and Happer, which controls the new operating system

Among is the right choice because it was used to show that the group of badly connected machines included the new NS3, one of the primary name servers, and Happer, which controls the new operating system.

This question was discussed in detail and answered by me in the Onthi TOEIC- Part 5 thread.

The winning name will be chosen by a panel of judges made up of a famous fashion designer, the president of Kramer Beverages, the well-known sports figure Harriet Schroder, and Yoshiko Nagamoto, the head of the creative deparment at Goldson and Harper.

A. face
B. figure => in this context, figure simply means a person. Here are the relevant definition of “figure” and usage examples from the OALD

person

4 [countable] a person of the type mentioned

a leading figure in the music industry

a political figure

a figure of authority

When she last saw him, he was a sad figure—old and tired.

a relatively unknown figure in the world of fashion

sports figure => (a) sports person


C. profile
D. image

This was also explained in the Onthi TOEIC Part 5 thread. What are the things that are attached (to the letter in the envelope) by the sender? They are "our sales order list and contents in detail".

What does the receiver expect to find when he/she opens the envelope? He/she expects to find that the "sales order list and contents are attached to the letter".

In other words, the receiver will find "the sales order list and contents" attached to the letter.

Written in a slightly different fashion to address the receiver, the sender would write

Please find attached our sales order list and contents in detail

or

Attached (to this letter) please find our sales order list and contents in detail

Besides "attached", "enclosed" is also used frequently in this form of closing in a letter:

Enclosed please find our sales order list and contents in detail

or

Please find enclosed our sales order list and contents in detail.

In some situations, "will" can appear in conditional clauses, and it functions like a modal verb, and not as a future tense to express "willingness or insistence". For a more detailed discussion on the uses of "will" in conditional clauses, you can visit the two following websites:
