Use the sentences to answer the question.

Question

Mistakes were made. We will do all we can to correct them.
How does the voice in these sentences compare?

Answer 1

The voice in the sentences is passive in the first sentence ("Mistakes were made") and active in the second sentence ("We will do all we can to correct them"). The first sentence focuses on the action of making mistakes without attributing it to a specific subject, while the second sentence clearly identifies the subject ("We") taking responsibility for correcting those mistakes.
