Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

"Hell-bent on getting" is the correct idiom. It means being determined or strongly committed to achieving something. The word "on" is used to show the target or goal of one's determination. So, in this context, it implies the workers are very determined to get what is rightfully theirs.

The correct sentence is: "The workers are hell-bent on getting what is due to them."
