Breakdown of the Blank

The sentence explains that Erikson knew he was "misdirected" but was unable to change his course. The blank needs a verb that describes the act of using or applying free will.
- Exert means to apply or bring to bear (a force, influence, or quality). In this context, Erikson was unable to apply his free will to correct his direction. The word perfectly captures the idea of actively exercising a power or an ability.
