Yes, I am sure. The sentence "The students organized the bake sale" is in active voice because the subject (the students) is actively performing the action of organizing.

In contrast, the other sentences are in passive voice or contain constructions that do not directly show the subject performing the action:

1. "The bake sale was organized by the students" - passive voice.
2. "It was the students who organized the bake sale" - this construction emphasizes "the students" but can still be considered more of a passive structure.
3. "It was decided that the students would organize a bake sale" - passive construction.

Therefore, the first sentence is definitely the example of active voice.
