Explanation:

To determine the "truths" in the poem, we analyze each option:

1. Poems often express genuine emotions, so "The poem expresses true emotions" is valid.
2. If the speaker has negative feelings about the memorial wall's meaning, "The speaker does not like what the wall at the memorial represents" can be true (context - memorial wall, likely related to war, negative sentiment possible).
3. War - related tension persisting in the speaker's life makes "The speaker still suffers tension caused by the war" a truth.
4. Past war experiences affecting the present is a common theme, so "The speaker’s war experiences influence him in the present" is valid.

Answer:

• The poem expresses true emotions.
• The speaker does not like what the wall at the memorial represents.
