1. When she was seventeen = six years ago
To find the phrase that means the same as "When she was twenty = three years ago," we need to subtract three years from Vicky's age of twenty-three. So, seventeen years ago would be the correct phrase.

2. On Sunday evening
The original phrase "On Sunday afternoon" already indicates a specific day and time. Therefore, we simply need to change "afternoon" to "evening" to get the equivalent phrase.

3. Last month = in June
Since today is Monday 8th June 2015, the previous month would be May. Thus, changing "Last month" to "in May" gives us the same meaning.

4. 6th June = Saturday
The given date is 5th June, so to find the corresponding day, we need to determine the day of the week for 5th June. Since we know that 8th June is a Monday, we can count backwards and identify that 7th June is a Sunday. Therefore, 6th June would be a Saturday.

5. Five days ago = Thursday
To find the day that is five days before the given day, we count backwards. Since today is Monday, we subtract five days, leading us to Thursday.

6. Today is Monday, 7th June
The given phrase "Yesterday" indicates the day before today. Since today is Monday, the day before Monday is Sunday. Therefore, "7th June" is equivalent to "yesterday."

7. In August = five
The original phrase "In January" indicates a specific month. To find the corresponding month for the number five, we need to count ahead. Since January is the first month, counting five months ahead would land us in August.

8. This year = 2015
The phrase "last year" refers to the previous year. Since the given date is in June 2015, changing "last year" to "2014" gives us the same meaning.
