Hi Lilian,

Gramatically perfect, but I have noticed (even in official texts) that British texts would normally have a plural here (a series of facts that suggest...), probably to distinguish it from 'a series of facts, which suggests...'. Alternatively, you would say 'a whole series of facts suggesting...'.

I am not sure this is not something particular to British English though - Laura, could you help?

Yes - it should be "suggest" - it is the facts which suggest, not the series.
