Explanation:

Question 20

The notice is titled "PREVENTIVES OF CHOLERA!" and gives advice like "BE TEMPERATE IN EATING & DRINKING!", "Avoid Raw Vegetables...", etc. Option A says it educates citizens on cholera prevention, which matches the content. Option B is wrong as it's for citizens, not doctors. Option C is wrong as it's about prevention, not just warning of an outbreak. Option D is wrong as it's about prevention steps, not just urgency.

The notice says "Avoid Raw Vegetables and Unripe Fruit!", "Abstain from COLD WATER...". So raw vegetables (A), unripe fruit (B), and cold water (D) are to be avoided. Boiled water (C) is safe, so it's not suggested to stay away from.

The notice says "Published by order of the Sanatory Committee, under the sanction of the Medical Counsel." So the Sanatory Committee (A) put out the notice. The other options (English Government, English Doctors, English Hospitals) aren't mentioned as the publisher.

Answer:

A. To educate citizens on how to prevent Cholera
