Uninspired.
White 1 is slack. Black simply blocks at 2. White has needlessly thrown away points in the corner.


Another failure.
White 1 might look dangerous, but after Black 2, White can no longer make headway against Black's corner.


Correct.
White 1 is a clever tesuji worth remembering. Black will submit with 2, after which 3 gives White the maximum profit from the corner.


Black variation.
Black could try to cut off White with 2. However, through 5, White forces an unfavorable ko on Black.
