Answer 2
if you're stupid like me... i read the answer as 'not a transit' incorrectly.
Yes = you're staying in the airport and moving on to somewhere else
No = you're actually going into the country and staying over in a hotel etc.
So if your going the USA for a holiday select NO and fill out the extra info.
