To determine which sentence is written in the active voice, we need to identify the subject of the sentence and whether it performs the action or receives the action.

In the active voice, the subject performs the action, whereas in the passive voice, the subject receives the action.

Let's analyze the sentences:

#1 However, few people think seriously of doing something about them.
- Subject: few people
- Action: think seriously of doing something
- Voice: passive (few people receive the action of thinking seriously)

#2 Accidents are considered by most people as unavoidable.
- Subject: accidents
- Action: are considered
- Voice: passive (accidents receive the action of being considered)

#3 But it is said that definite steps can be taken to prevent many accidents.
- Subject: definite steps
- Action: can be taken to prevent
- Voice: active (definite steps perform the action of being taken to prevent)

Therefore, the sentence written in the active voice is #3:

But it is said that definite steps can be taken to prevent many accidents.

I hope this explanation clarifies the concept of active and passive voice. Let me know if you have further questions!
