It is both. To amplify your answer is to broaden the scope of your answer to include specific examples.

It could mean both-when you amplify you substantiate your answers by specifying or giving examples.

It means to give some examples and provide some background information.

It means they don't know the correct word to use.

They meant to say "clarify" or "expound".
