Why not option D , as reverend also means to show reverence ( or huge respect ) ?
So basically, The distinct qualities of African music were not appreciated or even
"respected" by .....
Hi There!
Lets start by pairing the words:
-deprecated- express disapproval
-Discerned & Remarked on- to see or notice something with difficulty
-Ignored & neglected
-Reverend- high respect
Now, from the above we know deprecated & reverend do not form a necessary match and could be negated.
From the sentence given, The distinctive qualities of African music were
not appreciated or even ________ by Westerners until fairly recently.
As, it was not appreciated, it cannot be ignored. Because if the Westerners ignored it doesn't make sense. Thus, only Discerned & Remarked on fits the bill.
IMO B & E.
Hope this helps!
