This "stress" subject has always been hard for me. I hope you can help me, please!

This exercice is rather big, I managed to do most of it but I have some remaining doubts:

This is the exercise:
(...)which word should be stressed in order to elicit the answer:

1 - Did you say your leaving tonight?

WHICH WORD from this question should I stress to produce the following answers:

answer1: I did not
answer2: No, my brother said that.


2 - Is he going to take that job?

WHICH WORD from this question should I stress to produce the answer:

answer: No, he's changed his mind.


3 - Are you seeing Michael this afternoon?

WHICH WORD from this question should I stress to produce the answer:

answer: Yes, most definitely.

4 - Is your son flying to Madrid?

WHICH WORD from this question should I stress to produce the answer:

answer: Yes, he is going tomorrow night.


Looking forward for your help!
thanks

Youcould stress more than one word to obtain those answers in all of your examples.
 
The only one that seems to have a clear answer is "Did YOU say you..." for the answer "No, my brother did."

Those in purple are the ones I picked as most likely to be stressed.
