The correct revision begins with "PANTING, JUDY ARRIVED" because it clearly indicates that Judy is the subject performing the action while panting. This construction effectively highlights her state of being as she arrives, creating an immediate sense of urgency and movement. The use of a participial phrase ("panting") at the beginning effectively sets the scene and describes Judy's condition without ambiguity. Other options offer varying structures that either confuse the subject, change the focus away from Judy, or lack the immediacy conveyed by the original phrase. For instance, one option introduces a cab, which shifts the focus from Judy to the vehicle, and another one implies an ongoing action that detracts from the clarity of Judy's arrival. Thus, "PANTING, JUDY ARRIVED" is the most effective choice for conveying both her action and condition in a concise manner.
