Explanation:

The word "fractious" means unruly, irritable, or difficult to control. In the first sentence, it describes a community with intense divisions and political - party splitting. In the third sentence, it describes the unruly relations within a band that led to its dissolution. These usages are correct. The second sentence should use "instinctive" instead of "fractious" as it refers to an animal's innate ability. The fourth sentence uses "fractious" in a non - standard way as it doesn't fit the meaning of the word in the context of face - painting color.

Answer:

The first and third sentences use the word "fractious" correctly.
