Explanation:

To determine the line that signals the start of the narrative within the frame story in "Ambush", we analyze the options:

• The first three options relate to the frame story (the interaction with the daughter).
• The line "He was a short, slender young man of about twenty" shifts to the internal narrative (the war story being recalled), marking the beginning of the narrative within the frame.

Answer:

D. He was a short, slender young man of about twenty.
