Answer 1

The reaction question is a personal thing. I would say: "I am surprised that Martha wants to be dishonest just because she finds her assignment difficult."

John conveys a positive message: he believes that Martha is smart enough to do her assignments without cheating.

Martha conveys a negative message: she wants to cheat on her assignments because she thinks they are difficult.
