Hi, I have 5 English questions as shown below, and I hope native English speakers answer my questions.

#1. In progress vs under progress.
Which one is correct?
- The test is still in progress.
- The test is still under progress.

#2. If I want to use "such as", there should be more than 2 examples or 3 examples?
Are these sentences correct?
- The other options such as black and yellow are not in stock.
- The other options such as black, yellow, and red are not in stock.

#3. I want to know how to use "over-engineering" in a sentence.
Are these sentences correct?
- We don't want to take over-engineering for this project.
- I think that is over-engineering. Let's make it easy.
- We want to make it easy by excluding over-engineering.

#4. ongoing status, current status
Are these sentences correct?
- Thank you for updating on the current status.
- Thank you for updating on the ongoing status.

#5. "Attention to Paul" is the correct English word?
This question is about business email. Let's say I received an email from my superior, but I want to forward this email to Paul, but I'm worried that Paul wouldn't read my email because the original mail subject is not related to Paul, so I want to put the comment like this.

Original email subject: The summary of the company project
- [Attention to Paul] The summary of the company project
- [To Paul] The summary of the company project

Are these grammatically okay?

Thank you

Answer

In progress

You can use “such as” in any sentence that gives an example. The number of examples does not matter.
