Hi
Could you kindly tell me what the difference between "lead" is in the following sentences?
Does it mean result in/cause in both?
Are both structures correct? Can they be used interchangeably? Lead to someone doing something/ lead somebody to do something?
P.S. Sorry I had asked this question before and had started a thread before. However, I made a wild guess about the difference then and since then I had been waiting for someone to kindly help me and say whether my guess was right or not? As I got no reply I started a new thread, because I come across this structure a lot in the articles.

- There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times.
- Corruption can lead officials to tolerate ecological damage.
