I posted the following on the Clarinet Bulletin Board:

"...if it is for an audition you should play what is written, unless a
correction sheet has been given to you.

Thus:
Measure 20 - The lowest note of the turn is a Bb.

Measure 28 - The notes are D, C, Bb, A, G natural, F# (as written)

Although the Rose 32 have numerous errors (David Hite fixed most of them in
his edition and Melvin Warner in his edition did an even better job) the
prudent thing to do in finding the answer is to consult the original
source - the Ferling 48 for oboe (or saxophone)

In this particular exercise, which is shorter but more ornamented in the
original form for oboe, the ornamentation of similar turns is within the key
signature unless otherwise notated. In the original exercise, when Ferling
wanted a turn with an altered note, he either completely wrote out the turn
or used the appropriate #, b or natural sign..."
