Answer 1

The correct answer is: The first sentence uses passive voice, and the second sentence uses active voice.

In the first sentence, "Mistakes were made," the subject "mistakes" is acted upon, which is a characteristic of passive voice. In the second sentence, "We will do all we can to correct them," the subject "we" is performing the action, which is an active voice.
