Explanation:

To determine the correct statements, we analyze the frame - story structure's impact on conflicts:

1. For "The narrator is not able to tell his daughter the truth about his experience": In a frame - story (with a present - day frame and a past story), the narrator's inability to share his past (war - related) experience with his daughter is a conflict arising from the structure, as the present - day frame (his relationship with daughter) and past (war experience) interact.
2. For "The narrator is not happy with his ability to write about the war": The frame - story (present - day narrator reflecting on past) can create a conflict where the narrator struggles with representing his past war experience in writing, so this is valid.
3. For "The experience of having killed a man in the past haunts the narrator in the present": The frame - story structure (present and past) highlights the conflict between the narrator's past actions (killing a man) and his present - day psychological state, so this is a conflict from the structure.
4. For "The narrator recounts the traumatic feelings he experienced when he killed a man": This is a recounting of the past, not a conflict developed because of the frame - story structure. It's more of a narrative of the past event rather than a conflict between present and past (or other elements of the frame - story).
