Hi Tauro Boy,

in this case, you are using the plural form of "suggestion", therefore you need to say are.

Hi, suggestions is a countable noun, as such, if you're using it in plural the correct structure would be "are" due to the "subject-verb" agreement rules.

Hi again. It should be "easy" because the word here functions as an adjective whereas "easily" is an adverb that describes or modifies a verb. In your sentence you are not describing a verb, you are describing the subject "it". As such, you need the adjective "easy" because adjectives describe nouns and pronouns.
Hope it helped.
