Remark If we have a plan, ambition or intention to do something in the future we use 'be going to’. If we choose ANSWER 1 (am going to stay), we create the context that the speaker has future intentions that have been decided but have not been fully planned (referring to the past decision) that is expressed by the construction ‘be going to’.
