The sentence that is correctly punctuated is:

After the morning rains cease, the swimmers emerge from their cottages.

Explanation:

Let's look at each sentence individually to find the problems.

1. On the display screen, was a soothing pattern of light and shadow. --> The comma is separating the subject and the verb, which should never be done. This sentence is INCORRECT.

2. After the morning rains cease, the swimmers emerge from their cottages. --> This sentence is CORRECT. The comma is separating the ideas expressed in the different clauses.

3. Some first-year architecture students, expect to design intricate structures immediately. --> Again, we have a comma separating the subject and the verb. This is INCORRECT

4. Shade-loving plants such as, begonias, impatiens, and coleus can add color to a shady garden. --> When using "such as", we should not place a comma right before the first item to be listed. Therefore, there shouldn't be a comma before "begonias". This is INCORRECT
