Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The given sentence uses the phrase bent at, which is not correct and doesn't convey the intended meaning. The appropriate idiom to be used here is bent upon, which means being determined and fully committed to a goal. This choice is correct because it is a common expression to indicate strong commitment or determination towards a specific task or goal, which in this sentence is getting their dues.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The workers were bent upon getting their dues."
