This is correct. In this sentence, "to slow down" describes a decline or reduction in economic activity and shares a similar meaning with "to decrease". Note that "to slow down" also describes a reduction in speed, for example: Can you slow down? You're driving too fast.
This is incorrect. "To improve" means to make better. For example: Your work has improved considerably over the last few weeks. This does not share a similar meaning with "to slow down".

This is correct. In this sentence, "to slow down" describes a decline or reduction in economic activity and shares a similar meaning with "to lag".

To "lag" means to "slow down", or "fall behind", for example: Sales in Kalvin Krime's perfumes have been lagging compared to Delavigne's sales over the past year.
This is incorrect. To "overheat" is to become too hot. An "overheating economy" is usually a period of good economic growth followed by a period of inflation. Icarus does not mean that the economy is overheating, he thinks it is declining.

1 diagnostic: "Diagnostic" is the adjective which comes from the verb "to diagnose", which means to find the answer or reason for something. In case you're interested, the related noun is "diagnosis". Now you know everything about this word!
2 lag: This is the right answer. A "lag" is a delay in time and is a word often used when we're talking about technology. Another common use is when we talk about jet lag - the experience of feeling sick and tired due to the time changes with long aeroplane flights.
3 spreadsheet: This is correct. Many office jobs require workers to be familiar with spreadsheets. They're easy! The computer does all the hard work. No more adding columns of numbers with a calculator over and over again! Example: "Icarus loves spreadsheets almost as much as he loves his mother".
4 meantime: This is correct. When we say "in the meantime", we are saying "in between two specified moments", for example between now and an event in the future: "Continue with your English exercises and in the meantime the Gymglish team will choose some more for your next lesson!".
5 gather: This is the right answer. The verb "to gather" is synonymous with the verb "to understand" in this context. We usually use this word when we want to say that we think we have understood something. For example: "I gather you are feeling lonely" means "I assume" or "I suppose you're feeling lonely". In another context, "to gather (flowers)" is to collect them.
