Native's opinions about progressive form needed

I'm reading a linguistic book now and I came across the following article.

a)He was writing a letter at 6 o'clock yesterday.

b)*He was writing a book at 6 o'clock yesterday.

c)*It was raining for 2 hours.

It say that a) is acceptable but b) and c) is unacceptable. Do you agree with the judgement?
