  • A.The instructions were read by the invigilator.
  • B.The instructions were being read out by the invigilator.
  • C.The instructions had been read out by the invigilator.
  • D.The instructions had been read by the invigilator.

Answer: B

Correct answer: The instructions were being read out by the invigilator.

The past continuous was reading becomes were being read. The plain past and past perfect options change the aspect: the sentence describes an action in progress, not one completed.
