Answer

1)'will hope' is false ,hope is stative verb.i will hope means you hope but not now,in future      - so it's meaningless
2)if you say he finds it interesting,it means he already finds it interesting so it doesn't matter you hope or you don't hope.
3rd one seems true.But I don't understand why they use 'hoped'  instead of hope?
