Explanation:

- The original sentence uses "shall" twice, which is not necessary for future tense when referring to an action that will occur after another future action.

- Option 2: I reach - This is the correct substitution. When using "when," the second clause should use the simple present tense to refer to a future event, so “I reach” is appropriate.

- Option 3: I reached - This is incorrect as it uses the past tense, which does not fit the future context.

- Option 4: I am reaching - This implies a continuous action in the present or very near future and does not appropriately convey a future action.

- No substitution required - This would keep the original issue with using "shall" incorrectly.
