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 because the subject (mistakes) receives the action. In the second sentence, "We will do all we can to correct them" is in active voice because the subject (we) performs the action.
