Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : "I reached" should be replaced with "I had reached" as this action occurred before the other person came, and it complies with the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is used to denote the action that happened earlier than the others.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I had reached two hours before he came.
