HETERONYM 3: LEAD
Marcus was chosen to lead the new safety team at the construction site. Each morning, he reviewed checklists and reminded workers to handle old paint carefully because it might contain lead. During lunch, he noticed a thin lead wire coiled near the generator and secured it before anyone tripped. His steady tone and quiet confidence made others follow his example without complaint. By the end of the week, the project ran smoother, not because he demanded obedience, but because people trusted him to lead with purpose and attention.
