Answer 1

read..................

Answer 2

The correct answer is a) read.

The sentence is referring to a past action, so the past simple tense should be used. "Read" is the past simple form of the verb "to read," which is the appropriate choice in this context. The other options are not suitable because they either refer to ongoing or future actions (present continuous - "am reading") or use different past tenses (present perfect - "have read," past perfect - "had read").
