Abstract: It is a Theorem of W.~ W. Comfort and K.~ A. Ross that if $G$ is a subgroup of a compact Abelian group, and $S$ denotes those continuous homomorphisms from $G$ to the one-dimensional torus, then the topology on $G$ is the initial topology given by $S$. {Assume that $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. We study how} the choice of $S$ affects the topological placement and properties of $H$ in $G$. Among other results, we have {made significant} progress toward the solution of the following specific questions: How many totally bounded group topologies does $G$ admit such that $H$ is a closed (dense) subgroup? If $C_S$ denotes the poset of all subgroups of $G$ that are $S$-closed, ordered by inclusion, does $C_S$ has a greatest (resp. smallest) element? We say that a totally bounded (topological, resp.) group is an extit{SC-group} ( extit{topologically simple}, resp.) if all its subgroups are closed (if $G$ and $e$ are its only possible closed normal subgroups, resp.) {In addition, we investigate the following questions.} How many SC-(topologically simple totally bounded, resp.) group topologies does an arbitrary Abelian group $G$ admit?
