In which paragraph does the author mention a generation leading the way in mental health matters?

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. Regular coffee consumption may provide important benefits for liver health. Health experts explain that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of several liver problems, including cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver stiffness. Research has shown that people who drink coffee regularly are less likely to develop serious liver diseases such as liver cancer, fibrosis (which means scar tissue in the liver), cirrhosis (a severe liver condition where the liver stops working well), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

2. One study reported that drinking just two cups of coffee a day can lower the risk of cirrhosis by 44%. Another study, carried out by liver specialists from Michigan Medicine and Harvard Medical School, found that people who drink more than three cups of coffee daily have less liver stiffness, which shows better liver health. These results were true even when other lifestyle factors, like diet and exercise, were taken into account.

3. [I] For those already diagnosed with liver ailments, moderate coffee intake—usually between one and three cups per day—may help decelerate the progression of diseases like fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [II] For example, paraxanthine is a chemical produced when caffeine is digested and may reduce the growth of scar tissue in the liver. [III] Other chemicals in coffee, kahweol and cafestol, could help fight cancer. [IV] Some acids found in coffee may also help combat the hepatitis B virus. Even decaffeinated coffee might offer similar benefits.

4. These liver health benefits are the same for both men and women and do not depend on how the coffee is prepared—whether filtered, instant, or espresso. However, coffee consumption should complement a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, limited alcohol consumption, and regular physical activity. These habits together can support and protect liver health in the best way possible.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a disease that can be healed by drinking coffee?
