disagree Jennifer Levey : 'discussion' is singular, so why do you propose the plural form of the verb? // The fact that Asker has asked the question suggests he might not be sure of his interpretation; there's no reason to follow him into the ditch!

For the same reason the asker did, Robin: "las cuales evocan"-why not re-read the text provided, my oh-so-quick-to-question colleague? Your "neutrality" usually belies a pattern:it's YOUR opinion or none: Maybe the Asker & I are not the ones in the ditch!
