The sentence that best corrects the original one is option 3) “Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.”

In this option, we make it clear that the doer of the action (flipping back the table) is Anton and in the original sentence is not mentioned.

The first option is incorrect since it says that the storm flipped back the chair instead of Anton.

Option number two is also incorrect since the meaning is not clear, especially the 2nd part of the sentence.

And the last option is also incorrect because it uses the passive voice in both parts of the sentence, when it should be using acting voice in the 2nd part, making emphasis on the doer of the action (Anton) rather than on the action itself.

Answer:

The correct answer is the third one. Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.

Explanation:

The remaining sentences give the idea that the patio table flipped back on its feet on its own, or that it was already turned over and the storm flipped it back or vice versa.
