As others have noted, it's not very clear what is being asked here. But here are my best guesses given the context:

  1. is probably function
  2. is probably monomial
  3. is probably polynomial
  4. is so vague that I can't attempt an answer.
  5. is probably degree
  6. confuses me. My best guess is degree but since that's used in the definition I would guess that is not what is being asked for. Maybe now that you know the definition for a monomial and a polynomial, you can remember the right word?

EDIT: In the comments, Hagen has some good alternate suggestions.
