Pinpoint #485 gives Attendance, Office, Inventory, Charge, and The bull by the horns. The clues look scattered until you test the same opening verb before each one. The first four can feel administrative or workplace-related, but the idiom clue makes that read too narrow.
Once take moves to the front, every clue becomes a common expression instead of a category of objects or duties alone.
Take Attendance fits a classroom or meeting.
Take Office fits someone assuming an official role.
Take Inventory fits counting stock or checking what you have.
Take Charge fits taking control, and take The bull by the horns completes the idiom clue.
I would use the long idiom as the turning point because it demands the missing verb more clearly than the shorter administrative clues do.
