Read the passage.

The two cowboys scooped beans into their tin plates and sat down on the end of the buckboard. "What's your name?" said the older of the
"They call me Captain Billy. Who might you be?"
"I'm Red. This your first cattle drive?"
"Yep." The younger man began to cough.
"You get a lot of dust back there riding drag. But don't worry they won't put you there every day."
"I can take it."
"Didn't say you couldn't. Say, were you the one I saw trying to wrestle that doggie down, and got dragged into that patch of cactus?"
"Yeah, that was me. I got most all the needles pulled out. Think I dislocated something."
"Thought you was limping pretty bad."
"It was my shoulder that got dislocated. I'm limping because some horse kicked me." Captain Billy then went into another coughing fit.
"Where you from. Billy?"
"Philadelphia."
"That's a long way back East."
"Yeah, I came out here for my health."

Answer:

number three

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 2 and four dont make sense number two talks conflict what conflict is their the two people are just talking. Number four also does not make sense because this is not an account a fictional story of two people. Number one does not make sense either because throughout the story we see how multiple misfortunes come to the newcomer the most related answer is number three.
