What's the source? I think this sentence needs to say "other Asian nations" in order to be correct. As it stands, I would choose A if it were worded "that of other Asian nations"

Is this an Offical GMAT question.I doubt about it.
Reason:
The drop out rate in S... school is 10 times that of Asian nations
If I replace that with The drop out rate then the sentence will become.
The drop out rate in Sri-.. school is 10 times 'The drop out rate' of asian nations
how can we compare drop out rate of school with that of nation ....
