The degree is another way to say exponent, which also means power.
All three words mean the same thing.
Q1: a to the second power b to the second power c
a^2(b^2)(c)...the degree here is 2 because it is the biggest exponent.
Q2: 1/2 m to the third power
Here we have [(1/2)(m)]^3...the degree here is 3. By the way, we can also write
[(1/2)(m)]^3 like this (m/2)^3...the both mean the same thing.

Q3: 2x...the degree here is 1
