Learn English – When the answer of a question sounds crystal clear to you and you can answer without any further question

idioms

Imagine you have a conversation with someone else e.g. your friend and he wants to ask you about something which it's answer is completely clear to you.

There is an idiom in my language which says:

It is like a painting that… [Meaning that everything is clear to you and the facts acknowledge that…]

In the Cambridge dictionary I found a possible equivalent for the meaning in my question:

Example:

  • Person A) Who do you think is better-looking, Jennifer Lopez or Jessica Alba?

  • Person B) That’s a complete no-brainier! Jessica Alba is much better-looking.

However, I doubt if it (the idiom "no-brainier") is the most clear to what I am looking for.

I need to know find out how an AE speaker would say it?

There are idioms that also mean "It seems crystal clear* to me." These fit this specific example of comparing two similar things, in this case attractive and successful women. *This is a perfect idiom that you already know how to use appropriately.

"It goes without saying, that Alba is is more attractive."

"Of course, Alba is more attractive."

"Needless to say, Alba is more attractive.
