It means not specific enough. Say you were asking a question about a dog, and you just used the word dog, when you really wanted to know about a particular breed of dog. That would mean you were too general.

Too general means to not be distinct about something. Say you want to eat some cow but you want a specific type of cow but someone gets you longhorn to eat but you were in the mood for some good old dairy cow. That would be being too general about it.

What does it mean for a sentence to be too general too specific or irrelevent?
Too general means too broad or vague. For example, "Which vegetables do you like?" "I like green vegetables." Although the sentence is not wrong, it is much too general if you assume the asker wants to know specific or certain vegetables that you like. Too specific is the opposite of too general, meaning it is too precise and definite. For example, "What do you want for Christmas?" "I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" Although the sentence is not wrong, it is much too specific. Irrelevant means off-topic, or not pertaining to the point or topic at hand. For example, "Please write about Pearl harbor." "The Gulf War...?" Although an extreme example, it shows what an irrelevant sentence is, because the incident at Pearl Harbor and the Gulf War are unrelated topics, therefore it would be irrelevant to talk about the Gulf War for a question asking about the incident at Pearl Harbor.
