It is worth saying that if you want to use this service, your own number is 
initially withheld unless you go into the Google Home app and put your mobile 
number in so that the other person sees it.  I've done this and calling someone 
works a treat.  I think that while there will be people who feel it is 
gimmicky, there is a real purpose for those perhaps living alone who could have 
a fall and require help from a relative.  The beauty of this over Alexa is that 
you don't have to call other Google Home owners, you can ring anyone.

Kind regards,

One thing I can't find on that article is how to answer a call using Google 
Home.  How is it done, please?

Not possible yet, I'm afraid. From the FAQ:

"Can I call other Google Homes?
No, this is currently not possible as we do not support incoming calls but you 
can call the phones of friends, families and businesses."

Sorry!
