A question that obsessed me...GWD - ChaseDream

For the last five
years the Dutch economy has grown faster than Britain,
France, or Germany, with the unemployment rate
having remained well below that of the other three countries.

Britain, France, or Germany, with the unemployment
rate having remained

have those of Britain, France,
or Germany,
and the unemployment rate remaining

have Britain, France,
and Germany,
and the unemployment rate has remained

the economy of Britain, France,
and Germany,
with the unemployment rate that has remained

the economies of Britain, France,
and Germany,
and the unemployment rate has remained

I would go 90% for E, clear, parellel and using *and* instead of or, and the plural form of *economies*

however when I finish reading the whole sentense, I find sth not sounding well--*below THAT of the other three countries*

i notice the *that* is not in plural form--that means, to be parellel for all the parts of the sentense, the economy should be in single

IMO, the THAT of the other 3 countries means the unemployment rate of the 3 countries--respectively!

When I was doing this question for the 1st time I was going for D and all above is my concern and worry...

Would u please help me get rid of the obsession...?

Best Regards,
