The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The word ‘comprehension’ must be followed the preposition ‘of’ instead of ‘off’ in this context. The expression “comprehension of” means ‘understanding of’.
Hence, ‘of’ should be used in place of ‘off’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
