The correct answers are was leaving, was going to transport, and would be spending.

"Was leaving" uses the past continuous to talk about a fixed plan or arrangement that was made in the past.

"Was going to transport" expresses a past intention or plan that ultimately did not happen.

"Would be spending" shifts the future continuous ("I will be spending") into the past to reflect a realization made in the past about an ongoing future action.
