Explanation / Answer

It is enough to follow best practices and coding conventions 80% of the time?

-- False
We need to follow best practices because the name says that they are the best.

Indenting is cumulative, i.e. if we are inside of a double loop, we are indented once per loop

-- True
Because if you have a for loop you will have one tab for the instructions in it. If you have one more inside then you will have 2 tabs for the instructions in it.

Which of the following is not a good programming practice?

-- Using short easy names for variables
Commenting, using descriptive names for variables and following the guidelines of the group/team/industry are considered to be good practices. Using short easy names doesn't make program self descriptive.

The only single letter variable name should be the index of a for loop

-- False
We can use any. Example: for(int index=0; ;)
