Question Type:
ID the Conclusion

Stimulus Breakdown:
Conclusion: It's better that graphic designers aren't anonymous.

Evidence: Anonymity undermines graphic design by making it harder to hold designers accountable.

Answer Anticipation:
In almost every case of ID the Conclusion, the Conclusion comes earlier than the Evidence. It's often in the first sentence or after some "But / yet / however / nonetheless" pivot. The conclusion should sound like the author's opinion, and it should be supported by at least one explicit idea. We just need an answer choice that matches the meaning of the 2nd sentence.

Correct Answer:
C

Answer Choice Analysis:
(A) This is the 1st sentence.

(B) This was not stated, so it couldn't possibly be the conclusion.

(C) YUP, that's our 2nd sentence.

(D) That would be the 3rd sentence.

(E) This would also be the 3rd sentence.

Takeaway/Pattern: If we know our tendencies for ID the Conclusion, this should be one of the easiest questions on the test. Just remember, they're tendencies not absolutes. LSAT will sometimes surprise you and make the very last claim the Conclusion.
