Rahul:     Hello! Rajesh, what are you doing?
Rajesh:   I (i) _________ a collection of poems written by John Keats.
Rahul:     What (ii) ________ in the evening?
Rajesh:   I (iii) __________ yet.

Rahul asks 'what are you doing?' using present continuous tense, asking about current action. Rajesh responds that he is currently reading a collection of poems - an ongoing present action. 'Am reading' (present continuous) correctly matches this context. 'Was reading' would be past, 'have been reading' suggests duration emphasis, 'had been reading' is past perfect continuous.
