Correct Answer: neither as funny nor as


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

To make the sentence grammatically correct, "neither-nor" should be used. This construction maintains the parallel structure and accurately conveys the idea that the play was not as humorous or disturbing as Shivang described.

So, the improved sentence is: "The play was neither as funny nor as disturbing as Shivang told it was."
