Solution.

W1 is the only correct move. If B2 tries to destroy the eye at the top, White can block at W3. With the marked stone, Black cannot play at a to connect B2. So B2 is effectively captured, and White lives.

What if?.

Jacob4Jesus: Doesn't B6 at B4 kill? Is there a better play than W5?

JoelR: No, If B6 at B4, then W7 at black+square. Please read these things out, making note of which stones are still on the board and which are not.

Failure

White has only one eye.
