Seeking business atmosphere on tourist visa. Thats where they got you i think.
And about the "have you been arrested?". No need to go into details. If something is not documented, doesnt matter. Answer straight. Just give relevant details.
"Most of my travels are for business" on a tourist visa would have made their ears raised.
Id recommend for next time , "my visit is purely for recreational purposes. Just wish to visit some popular places to increase my knowledge of American history and the culture."
"Family not visiting as children avoid flying so long." Or maybe because of their studies or other commitments.
And try not to mention seeing family if not necessary. As they fear somebody will get a tourist visa and settle illegally.
My opinion.
