at this time they vs reached there it was

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they convey different ideas. 'At this time they' seems to be an incomplete phrase, while 'reached there it was' is a complete sentence indicating a specific event. It would be more appropriate to compare 'at this time they arrived' with 'when they reached there, it was.'
