Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Absolute synonyms are substitutable in all possible contexts in all possible (semantic, grammatical, sociolinguistic) ways. Synonymy is a relation between individual senses of words, so that a single word typically has different sets of synonyms for each of its senses.

Detailed explanation-2: -complete, full, infinite, outright, pure, sheer, simple, unadulterated, unconditional, unlimited, unqualified, utter, arbitrary, dictatorial, categorical, definite, exact, factual, genuine, infallible.

Detailed explanation-3: -A synonym is a word that has the same meaning as another word (or nearly the same meaning). For example, beautiful and attractive are synonyms of each other because they both refer to someone or something that looks good.
