#Capture the piece giving check.  Black could play 7...Qxd5.  But White would simply take queen with 8.Qxd5+.  With such a huge material disadvantage and an exposed king, Black could resign without feeling like a quitter.
#Interpose a piece.  Black could play 7...Be6.  But that would be inadvisable, because the bishop would be defended only once (by Black's king) and attacked twice (by White's queen and bishop).  In fact, White could end the game at once with 8.Qxe6
++# [[checkmate]].
#Move the king.  Alas, the only square which is not under attack by White is g6, even further into the open.  It beats the alternatives, though.
