The first word is clearly "disсerned" (to be detected, noticed).
"Neglected" and "ignored" – do not pair well with “not appreciated” do not fit.
"Deprecate" – means deliberately disapproved (i. e. first noticed and not approved)
"Reverend" is not applicable and has more positive meaning than needed.
The second one for me by way of exception is “remarked on”.
"Neglected" and "ignored" – do not pair well with “not appreciated” do not fit.
