Answer 1

You are part of the way, but you made some mistakes.

text-anchor="center"wrong. It should be text-anchor="middle".

In addition, you should add startOffset="50%"to the element <textPath>to indicate that the text should be centered halfway through the path.

Finally, you need to fix the path itself. You need to delete the path command Zat the end of the path description. You only need an arc, not a return line back to the beginning of the arc.
