To find all the possible combinations, we can use a systematic approach.
1. Option A: Two T-shirts and three dress shirts.
- T-shirts: 2 * $14 = $28
- Dress shirts: 3 * $21 = $63
Total cost: $28 + $63 = $91 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $9 unspent)
2. Option B: Five T-shirts and one dress shirt.
- T-shirts: 5 * $14 = $70
- Dress shirts: 1 * $21 = $21
Total cost: $70 + $21 = $91 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $9 unspent)
3. Option C: Four T-shirts and two dress shirts.
- T-shirts: 4 * $14 = $56
- Dress shirts: 2 * $21 = $42
Total cost: $56 + $42 = $98 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $2 unspent)
4. Option D: One T-shirt and four dress shirts.
- T-shirts: 1 * $14 = $14
- Dress shirts: 4 * $21 = $84
Total cost: $14 + $84 = $98 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $2 unspent)
Therefore, all of the possible combinations are A, B, C, and D.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. After reviewing the calculations, it seems there was an error. Let me recalculate the options for you:
Given:
T-shirt cost: $14
Dress shirt cost: $21
Gift certificate value: $100
Unspent amount: $5
Considering the requirement of at least one dress shirt, let's calculate the total cost for each option:
A. Two T-shirts and three dress shirts:
- T-shirts: 2 * $14 = $28
- Dress shirts: 3 * $21 = $63
Total cost: $28 + $63 = $91 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $9 unspent)
B. Five T-shirts and one dress shirt:
- T-shirts: 5 * $14 = $70
- Dress shirts: 1 * $21 = $21
Total cost: $70 + $21 = $91 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $9 unspent)
C. Four T-shirts and two dress shirts:
- T-shirts: 4 * $14 = $56
- Dress shirts: 2 * $21 = $42
Total cost: $56 + $42 = $98 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $2 unspent)
D. One T-shirt and four dress shirts:
- T-shirts: 1 * $14 = $14
- Dress shirts: 4 * $21 = $84
Total cost: $14 + $84 = $98 (Under the gift certificate limit and leaves $2 unspent)
