intact and whole

Hi everybody!
I need your help once more. In one of the questions about a text whose title is "Defining The Obama Doctrine" we are asked to find a synonym for whole. Reading the text the only option I can find is intact, but the sentence reads: "but Sush �s policies remain intact", is it possible to say "remain whole"? It sounds strange to me.
Thanks in advance. |

Sounds good to me. Remain intact, whole, unchanged, remain in place etc. are all (quasi-) synonyms.

I would say �remains complete. � |
