Correct answer: was reading
✅ Sentence: The telephone rang while I was reading a book.
✅ Explanation:
The sentence describes two past actions, where one (reading) was in progress when the other (the telephone ringing) happened.
In such cases, we use:
Past continuous tense for the ongoing action → was reading
Simple past tense for the shorter interrupting action → rang
Example:
She was cooking when the guests arrived.
I was sleeping when the alarm went off.
