Why wouldn't the answer for problem 4 be the members of each household?

The members of each household receive the same diet, but each household could have a different diet. Since the diet is consistent in the household, the household is the experimental unit.

why didnt seattle just run the ball..

It was the right call but Malcolm Butler just made a great play.

Words are slippery. The last question expects as correct answer the households, not their members. Makes me scratch my head and and ironically conclude: "Aha! So it is the households who eat (or not) the kale, not the household members".

That is a funny point, but the household is the whole of the household members. We were comparing different households as a whole and not *a* households individual members. Hope this helps, - Convenient Colleague

I am confuse about word question like kale based on kale diet that word kale

Kale is a type of cabbage that's eaten. Just Google it.
