This passage was adapted from an aritcle entitled "John Snow knew Something" published in a popular history magazine in 2018. Few would deny that doctors use critical thinking to solve problems, but most imagine a difference between the partice of medicine and, say, the methods a police detective might use to solve a case. In fact, medical researchers have long used forensic methods of detection and analysis. The case of John Snow, a 19th-century anesthesiologist, is often said to have ushered in the modern era of epidemiology, the branch of medicine that tracks the incidence and distribution of diseases and proposes solutions for their control and prevention. It would not be until 1861 that Louis Pasteur would 1861 Louis Pasteur would propose the link between microorganisms and disease, now know as the germ theory. Before Pasteur's breakthrough, the predominant explanation for the cause of most illnesses was the so-called miasma theory, which held that noxious fumes and pollution-quite literally, as the theory's name implies, "bed air"-were responsible for making people sick. Consequently, during the 1854 outbreak of cholera in Westminster, London, doctors and government officials alike blamed "miasmatic particles" released into the air by decaying organic matter in the soil of the River Thames. Despite the widespread acceptance of the miasma theory, there were those, Snow included, who were skeptical of this view. Snow sould not have known, as doctors do today, that cholera is caused by a cbacterial infection, Vibrio cholerae. Nevertheless, he was convinced that the spread of the disease was caused by some form of matter passed between individuals, likely through contaaminated water. To demonstrate this, Snow targeted a particularly deadly outbreak in the Soho district of Westminster in London. From August 31 to September 3,1854, 127 people in the area died of cholera. Within a week that number had risen to over 500. Snow took to the streets. Speaking to residents of the area, he found a commonality among them: most of the victims had used a single public water pump located on Broad Street. Though he was unable to find conclusive proof that the pump was the source of the outbreak, his demonstration of a pattern in the cholera cases prompted authorities to disable the pump by removing its handle. The epidemic quickly subsided. Soon after the Borad Steet pump was shut down Snow's continued investigation provided additional evidence that contaminated water was the source of the outbreak. Snow created a dot map of the case of cholera in Lndon and demonstrated that they occured in areas were water was supplied by two companies that obtained their water from wells near the Thames. investigation of these wells showed that they had been dug three feet from a cespit that was leaking sewage into the surrounding soil. Snow also discovered that there were no cases of cholera among workers in a berwery close to the Broad Street pump. These workers were provided a daily allowance fo beer, which they drank instead of water, and althought the beer was brewed using the contaminated water, it was boiled during the brewing process. This revelation provided a partical solution for the prevention of future outbreaks. Snow is now hailed as the "father of modern epidemiology," and the radical nature of his approach-formulating a new theory, substantiating it with verifiable avidence, and proposing preventative action-is fully appreciated. At the time, however, not all were convinced, at least publicly, of Snow's fiagged, government officials replaced the handle on the Broad Street pump and publicly denounced Snow's conclusions. It seems they felt that the city's residents would be upset and disgusted to have the unsettling nature of the well's contamination confirmed. It wasn't until 1866, more than a decade after Snow's original investigation and theory-when another cholera outbreak killed more than 5,500 residents of London's East End-that officials working in public health began to accept the link between contaminated water and certain kinds of illness and to take appropriate actions to quell such outbreaks. It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that scientists in 1855 would have found which of the following solutions to be most practical in dealing with future outbreaks of cholera ? |

It wasn't until 1866, more than a decade after Snow's original investigation and theory-when another cholera outbreak killed more than 5,500 residents of London's East End-that officials working in public health began to accept the link between contaminated water and certain kinds of illness and to take appropriate actions to quell such outbreaks.

This passage was adapted from an aritcle entitled "John Snow knew Something" published in a popular history magazine in 2018. Few would deny that doctors use critical thinking to solve problems, but most imagine a difference between the partice of medicine and, say, the methods a police detective might use to solve a case. In fact, medical researchers have long used forensic methods of detection and analysis. The case of John Snow, a 19th-century anesthesiologist, is often said to have ushered in the modern era of epidemiology, the branch of medicine that tracks the incidence and distribution of diseases and proposes solutions for their control and prevention. It would not be until 1861 that Louis Pasteur would 1861 Louis Pasteur would propose the link between microorganisms and disease, now know as the germ theory. Before Pasteur's breakthrough, the predominant explanation for the cause of most illnesses was the so-called miasma theory, which held that noxious fumes and pollution-quite literally, as the theory's name implies, "bed air"-were responsible for making people sick. Consequently, during the 1854 outbreak of cholera in Westminster, London, doctors and government officials alike blamed "miasmatic particles" released into the air by decaying organic matter in the soil of the River Thames. Despite the widespread acceptance of the miasma theory, there were those, Snow included, who were skeptical of this view. Snow sould not have known, as doctors do today, that cholera is caused by a cbacterial infection, Vibrio cholerae. Nevertheless, he was convinced that the spread of the disease was caused by some form of matter passed between individuals, likely through contaaminated water. To demonstrate this, Snow targeted a particularly deadly outbreak in the Soho district of Westminster in London. From August 31 to September 3,1854, 127 people in the area died of cholera. Within a week that number had risen to over 500. Snow took to the streets. Speaking to residents of the area, he found a commonality among them: most of the victims had used a single public water pump located on Broad Street. Though he was unable to find conclusive proof that the pump was the source of the outbreak, his demonstration of a pattern in the cholera cases prompted authorities to disable the pump by removing its handle. The epidemic quickly subsided. Soon after the Borad Steet pump was shut down Snow's continued investigation provided additional evidence that contaminated water was the source of the outbreak. Snow created a dot map of the case of cholera in Lndon and demonstrated that they occured in areas were water was supplied by two companies that obtained their water from wells near the Thames. investigation of these wells showed that they had been dug three feet from a cespit that was leaking sewage into the surrounding soil. Snow also discovered that there were no cases of cholera among workers in a berwery close to the Broad Street pump. These workers were provided a daily allowance fo beer, which they drank instead of water, and althought the beer was brewed using the contaminated water, it was boiled during the brewing process. This revelation provided a partical solution for the prevention of future outbreaks. Snow is now hailed as the "father of modern epidemiology," and the radical nature of his approach-formulating a new theory, substantiating it with verifiable avidence, and proposing preventative action-is fully appreciated.
