Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
On bent knees should be replaced with on bended knees as this idiom means to be kneeling to pray. Outside this usage, "bended" is not correct and should be avoided. This idiom is generally used when you are kneeling in front of a person, usually to ask forgiveness or to propose marriage.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "As soon as they entered the temple, they prayed to the gods on bended knees. "
