Explanation

Here, 'at' rectifies the error of its omission. The verb 'aim' is generally followed by the preposition 'at'. Adjective 'comprehensive' rectifies the error of 'comprehensively'. Here, the adjective 'comprehensive' qualifies the noun 'study'. An adjective is a word which qualifies a noun.
