include

include
include, comprise
Like comprise, include has the whole as its subject and its parts as the object. The difference is that comprise generally denotes the whole set of parts whereas include can be selective, so that if a house comprises two living rooms, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, there are six rooms in all, whereas if the house includes these rooms there may be others as well. Include is often used to single out a particular item or subset, in which case comprise is again inappropriate:

• The study…found that women preferred to use text or email to communicate. The survey did not include work calls but did count conversations with banks or insurance companies —Express, 2007.

See also comprise.
