When we want to say that something is clear or obvious, there are various synonyms for "be apparent" that we can use. For instance, we can say that something "is evident", "is plain", "is palpable", or "is manifest". We may also use the phrases "is transparent" or "is self-evident". Additionally, we can use the words "is unmistakable", "is patent", or "is blatant" to describe something that is clearly visible or known. All of these phrases convey the idea that there is no ambiguity or uncertainty about the matter at hand and that it is clearly perceivable by anyone.
