Question

The phrase "absolute and relative" is necessary to convey the full meaning of the sentence, as both concepts are important in working with spreadsheets. The other choices contain redundant phrases: "each and every" is redundant as they have the same meaning, "free gift" is redundant as gifts are already understood to be free, "when and if" is redundant as "if" already implies a condition.
