What is the opposite of comprehensive?

The opposite of "comprehensive" depends on the context. Here are a few possibilities:

General opposites:

* Partial: This means covering only a part of something.

* Limited: This implies restrictions or boundaries on what is covered.

* Incomplete: This means something is missing or unfinished.

* Superficial: This indicates a lack of depth or thoroughness.

* Narrow: This suggests a limited scope or focus.

Specific opposites:

* Specific: If "comprehensive" refers to covering many things, "specific" would refer to focusing on a single thing.

* Selective: This implies choosing only certain parts of something, rather than including everything.

Example:

* "The book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic."

* Opposite: "The book provides a partial overview of the topic." or "The book provides a selective overview of the topic."

It's important to consider the context and the specific meaning of "comprehensive" in order to choose the most appropriate opposite.
