The correct sentence is:

To determine which sentence is punctuated correctly, we need to consider the rules of punctuation. Let's analyze each option:
Option 1: "The eager energetic students are ready for gym to begin."
This sentence is punctuated correctly. It begins with a capital letter, ends with a period, and uses appropriate punctuation between the words.
Option 2: "The eager energetic students are ready for gym to begin."
This sentence is also punctuated correctly. It follows the same rules as the previous sentence, using a period at the end.
Option 3: "Before gym class, the students seem happy, excited, and ready to play."
This sentence is punctuated correctly. It begins with a capital letter, uses a comma before the introductory phrase, and separates the three adjectives using commas.
Option 4: "After gym class the students appear tired, worn-out, and, thirsty."
This sentence is not punctuated correctly. It begins with a lowercase letter, and there is an extra comma after "and." The correct version should be: "After gym class, the students appear tired, worn-out, and thirsty."
From the given options, sentences 1, 2, and 3 are punctuated correctly, while sentence 4 is not. So the correct answer is:
The eager energetic students are ready for gym to begin.
The red-faced exhausted students are glad that gym is over.
Before gym class, the students seem happy, excited, and ready to play.
