2.I was called to head the task force. |
Are they correct? If so, what words can 'called' be replaced with in #1 and #2?
Thanks. |

1. He felt called to write to all his fellow investors, warning them of the impending crisis.
--OK. Can also say, "He felt impelled to write . . . . "
2. I was called to head the task force.
--OK. Can also say, "I was selected / chosen / nominated / required to head the task force."
