Never mind the actual answer is The team lost the game because the players made mistakes.
The correct option that turns the sentence from passive voice to active voice is: "The team lost the game because the players made mistakes."
To identify the active voice, we need to focus on the subject of the sentence, which is the one performing the action. In this case, the subject is "the team." In the active voice, the subject "the team" is directly performing the action, which is "lost the game." The active voice sentence emphasizes who or what is performing the action.
In contrast, the original sentence "Many mistakes were made today," is in passive voice because the subject "Many mistakes" is receiving the action instead of performing it. It doesn't explicitly mention who made the mistakes or caused the team's loss, which is why it is passive.
