Which two words best reveal the setting of the story?

"We want foga! Give us eggs, milk, beans, anything you've got! We're starving!"
The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat and
quick too. We're coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire and fanning the coals.

Explanation:

In literary terms, the setting of a story refers to the time and place where events in the story occur. Some words in the passage above gives the reader an idea of the place where the events in the story took place. The reference to the ranch which is a place where large animals like horses and cattle are reared helps the reader to know the setting of the story.

The response of the woman when asked the name of the ranch, which she answered as Limon also gives us the knowledge of the particular ranch where the plot was set.
