| Jul 14, 2023 at 3:14 | comment | added | Quack E. Duck | @BillJ Yes, this seems like the definitive answer. I'll add the observation that OP is correct that the phrase as a whole functions as an adverb (it modifies 'is believed') with or without the missing form of 'to be.' Have you considered converting your comment to an answer? | |
