The sentence "The red-faced exhausted students are glad that gym is over." is punctuated correctly.
The correct punctuated sentence is: "The red-faced exhausted students are glad that gym is over."
To determine which sentence is punctuated correctly, you should look for any grammar or punctuation errors in each sentence.
In the first sentence, "The eager energetic students are ready for gym to begin," there are no obvious grammar or punctuation errors. However, it should be noted that both "eager" and "energetic" are adjectives describing the students, so a comma could be used to separate them, making it: "The eager, energetic students are ready for gym to begin." This would make the sentence more clear and emphasize both qualities of the students.
In the second sentence, "After gym class the students appear tired, worn-out, and, thirsty," there is a punctuation error. The comma after "and" is unnecessary and creates a pause that disrupts the flow of the sentence. It should be removed, resulting in: "After gym class the students appear tired, worn-out, and thirsty."
In the third sentence, "The red-faced exhausted students are glad that gym is over," there are no obvious grammar or punctuation errors. The sentence is clear and correctly punctuated, making it the correct choice.
In the fourth sentence, "Before gym class, the students seem happy, excited, and ready to play," there are no obvious grammar or punctuation errors. The sentence is clear and correctly punctuated, but it is not the correct answer as it does not adhere to the given instruction.
Therefore, the third sentence, "The red-faced exhausted students are glad that gym is over," is the correctly punctuated sentence.
