Primary answer
Comprehension questions test the understanding of the basics of a subject by requiring the candidate to draw simple conclusions from fundamental ideas. Application questions go a step further, requiring the candidate to apply their knowledge through logical reasoning or computation to solve a specific problem. These often form the bulk of the 2-mark questions in the technical section.
