According to the text, where should the opening brace be placed?

  1. On a new line

  2. On the same line as the precursor

  3. Indented inside the function or class definition

  4. Does not matter as long as it is consistent

The correct answer is: On the same line as the precursor

The opening brace should be placed on the same line as the precursor. This is considered a standard coding convention and improves code readability. Option A is incorrect because placing the brace on a new line can make the code harder to read and understand. Option C is incorrect as indentation is usually used for code blocks within a function or class definition, not for placing the opening brace. Option D is incorrect because while consistency is important, the generally accepted convention is to place the opening brace on the same line as the precursor.
