The correct answer is:
a. The first sentence uses passive voice, and the second sentence uses active voice.
In the first sentence, "Mistakes were made" is in passive voice because it focuses on the action done to "mistakes" rather than who made them. In the second sentence, "We will do all we can to correct them" is in active voice, as it has a clear subject ("We") performing the action.
