To best clarify the relationship between the two ideas in sentence 3, the transition "Yet," would be the most appropriate choice. This suggests a contrast between the fears of both boys and the challenges they face, emphasizing that despite their different situations (being stranded and being considered crazy), they both have to confront their fears to overcome their respective obstacles.
So the revised sentence would read: "Yet, both boys must face their fears to overcome obstacles."
So the revised sentence would read: "Yet, both boys must face their fears to overcome obstacles."
