Explanation:

For the first question "How many stanzas are in the poem?":

John Masefield's poem "Sea Fever" has three stanzas. By analyzing the structure of the poem, we can observe that it is divided into three distinct groups of lines (stanzas).

In the first stanza of "Sea Fever", the rhyme scheme is aabb. Let's check the end - words of the lines: "fever" and "lever" rhyme (a - a), "sail" and "trail" rhyme (b - b).

John Masefield uses a fixed form in "Sea Fever". A fixed form poem has a set pattern of stanzas, lines per stanza, rhyme scheme, and/or meter. In "Sea Fever", each stanza has a consistent number of lines and a consistent rhyme scheme (aabb for each stanza), which fits the characteristics of a fixed form.

Answer:

three
