Should I say ‘escorted,’ ‘accompanied,’ ‘ushered,’ ‘led,’ or ‘guided’ in the sentence? (Context: The emplyees’ role was to help the participants locate the hotels where they would stay.) Are ‘set for,’ ‘the same,’ and ‘in locating’ correctly used in the sentence?
The founding anniversary of our city was held for exactly one week. When the participants in the week-long event arrived, selected government employees (escorted/accompanied/ushered/led/guided) them to the hotels where they would be accommodated/given accommodations. When the guests had to go to the venues set for the activities related to the celebration, the same employees provided them the assistance they needed in locating the places.
