Leave the anchor right where it is, don't volunteer any shots, and build the board.   The next point we want ot make is the four point, so 7/4 is mandatory. Then, it looks like 8/7 is as goo a way to play the one as any. 

So, 7/4 8/7 or 8/4.  I'm not seeing that in the list of options, so I'll add it, since I can.

But the reality is that anything that slots the four and doesn't leave  a shot should be pretty close.
