Answer 1

As Tomalak has mentioned it :

isin(java.lang.Object... list)
A boolean expression that is evaluated to true if the value 
of this expression is contained by the evaluated values of the arguments.

Therefore, you just could fix this making the following change :

val items = List("a", "b", "c").map(c => s""""$c"""")
