Doug. Thank you very much!

As Columbine pointed out, to comprehend the question means that the question is understood. It does not mean that the listener has the answer to it.
Generally comprehension refers to understanding the "meaning" of something fully. I will give an example.
Sometimes examples do not help very much. I hope this helps a little though.

“To comprehend the question” means that the question is understood fully, but doesn’t mean the person knows the answer to the question. OK.
People say “This is your last chance” to thread. When the listener understands the words he was told and doesn’t fully know what would happen, the person doesn’t comprehend the full significance or implication of the words.
Thank you again!
