Is it actually possible to carry an entire game when 4 team members are feeding?

I know like hell from experience a support can't in bronze at least. I've carried a game as a support on a feding team 1 time and that was because they were actually farming and split pushing instead of fighting the enemy every time they see them or getting caught so we managed to catch up. Other than that I can perform well in every role that isn't jungle and I myself have never been able to carry a team out of a disastrous start. The only champion that I've seen actually carry a game like that was a SERIOUSLY fed Xin Xhao back in the day, and unfortunately i was fighting him.

if you are playing at a level where your 4 teammates need to be carried then there is likely at least 2 -5 bad players on the other team.

If you're playing above the average level of the people in the game, yes. Just remember this isn't a brawl game and not every game is won by teamfights in the mid lane every 5 minutes. Split push, get picks, pressure objectives etc. Force the game to go on till your team can catch up

In my experience if you have 2 lanes losing hard and playing generally not good, you lose the game. This can still theoretically be carried if the other two lanes perform exceptionally well.

carry 4 guys who all suck? I don't want to say it is impossible, but don't expect to be able to do it if you are anywhere close to being placed where you belong.

no not really, to carry such a team you need to lay down the frame work from the very start of the match.

If your jungling you need to get in that early cheese level 2-3 kill, you need to exert that early pressure to instill fear into the enemy team

if you are mid or top lane, you needed to get that pre six kill so you can get your snow ball ready.

If your bot laning you needed that dominance to push for the early first blood tower and dragon.

If you didn't lay down the frame work to carry, than when you have such a team, it will be very hard to begin it so late in the game.

This sounds very silly, but the reason we see diamond+ smurfs climb so fast, is not because they are mechanically better, but because they had a plan starting from level 1 and they "laid down the foundation" to allow themselves to carry.

TLDR- Treat every game like your about to have 4 feeders so you do all that is necessary from the start.
