Correct Answer: They are firing the canons continuously.


Solution : The second option is correct.

Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. When transforming a sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, the subject ( they in this case) performs the action.

The structure of the active sentence in the case of the present continuous tense is: Subject + are + gerund form of the verb + object + adverb.

Therefore, the active sentence is: They are firing the canons continuously.
