Explanation:

1.

The study of human beings' classifications, origins, and cultures is anthropology, not philanthropy (which is about charitable giving). So we correct "philanthropy" to "anthropology".

Amphibious means able to live on land and in water, which correctly describes frogs. So the word is used correctly.

A conversation with wild gestures and loud speaking is likely "heated" or "argumentative", not "homogeneous" (which means similar or uniform). A better word is "heated" or "argumentative", but more contextually, "heated" fits. However, the appropriate vocabulary word here (assuming from typical vocab lists) would be "heated" or "contentious", but the correct replacement for "homogeneous" in this context is "heated" (or "argumentative"). But following the task, we need to replace "homogeneous" with the correct word. The correct word here should be "heated" (or "contentious"), but let's assume the correct vocab word is "heated" (or if from a list, maybe "argumentative"). But more accurately, "homogeneous" is incorrect; the correct word is "heated" (as in a heated conversation). So draw a line through "homogeneous" and write "heated" above it (or the appropriate vocab word from the list).

Answer:

Draw a line through "philanthropy" and write "anthropology" above it.
