Also kills.
Black 7 also works. (Black 3 at 5.) If White avoids the previous diagram by playing 8, Black continues through 11. White still has only one eye.


Black failure.
Note that Black cannot fill White's eye space with 5. (Black 3 at 8.) After 8, White lives in seki.


Black failure.
Black 1 is the wrong move order. White shifts to 2 to make a second eye. After White 4, A and B are miai for the second eye.
