The coach said the team lost by making many mistakes.
The loss of the team was caused by mistakes made.
The team lost the match because the players made mistakes.****
The coach said the mistakes caused the team to lose. I was wrong
It’s The team lost the match because the players made mistakes. The answer is “The team lost the match because the players made mistakes.” Your choice is in the active voice, yes, but an element of the original sentence is missing.
Read the original sentence and choose the answer choice that is in the active voice AND that contains all the elements of the original. it’s better to be right Is that right. I don’t think it’s B either. I think the answer is:
A. “The coach said the team lost by making a lot of mistakes.”
It has all the original stuff, as Writeteacher said, and it’s in an active voice.
So I would choose “The coach said the team lost by making a lot of mistakes.”
