Answer 1

The correct response is:

The first sentence uses passive voice, and the second sentence uses active voice.

In the first sentence, "Mistakes were made" is in passive voice, focusing on the action done to the subject (mistakes). In the second sentence, "We will do all we can to correct them" is in active voice, where the subject (we) is performing the action (doing).
