Hint:

When describing an action that was ongoing at a specific point in the past, use the past continuous tense (was/were + verb-ing).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct answer is "was reading, in" because the sentence describes an ongoing action at the moment Ved came. Therefore, the correct tense is past continuous ("was reading"). The correct preposition here is "in" as it is commonly used when referring to reading something.
