A: dead center is an expression meaning as in the middle as you can be

A: “I live in the centre of town” - you would use this expression when it is implicit that people know which town you are referring to.

“I live in the centre of the town” - you would be more likely to use this if you were talking about somewhere less familiar to your audience.

A: The correct one is 'in the centre of London'.

A: Middle is generally used as a more vague term - eg “I’m in the middle of writing an essay” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re exactly halfway through writing the essay, it just means you’re not really at the start or the end - you’re in the middle.
Centre is more specific - if something is in the centre of a circle it’s directly at the innermost point.

In conversation though, middle tends to be used slightly more informally than centre, so even if something isn’t directly in the centre, if it’s quite close to the centre then this would be the word you would use anyway.

In your example either centre or middle would work well. ‘Centre’ sounds a little bit better but if it’s not actually that close to being in the centre then go for ‘middle’

Hope this helps😊

in order to means you will perform or do the thing that you're talking about to have something, to reach a specific goal or to produce a certain effect while due to means the thing that you're talking to has happened or it became that way because of something. So let's try to use both of them and discuss it further.

a) In order to

The centre conducted the study in order to identify priority areas for conversation.

The sentence above means that a study has been conducted for a specific reason or to reach a certain goal -- which is in this case is to identify priority areas for conversation. You can also say that this way : The centre conducted the study to identify priority areas for conversation.

b) due to

the centre conducted the study due to identify priority areas for conversation.

The sentence above is therefore has an error with the grammar because of the phrase 'due to identify'. In order to correct that you must change it this way 'due to identifying' or 'due to the identification of'. So let's try to use the both and explain it further.

a.1) due to identifying

The centre conducted the study due to identifying the priority areas for conversation.

The sentence above means that a study has been conducted by identifying or because of identifying the priority areas for conversation.

a.2) due to the identification of the

The centre conducted the study due to the identification of the priority areas for conversation.

Now, the sentence above just means that a study has been conducted by the identification of the or because of the identification of the priority areas for conversation.

That's it, I hope I was able to clarify their difference. If you still have any more questions just feel free to ask me. Have a nice day!
