Answer 1

I believe the answer is vain. All of the others don't really sound right in that sentence.

Answer 2

Vain is the correct answer. Plug in each word given into the sentence and then read it to see if the sentence makes sense.

"We may try in predict to solve our problems on our own.." Predict is incorrect.
