Doubt in SC Flash cards

by meetfais Sat Nov 14, 2009 5:03 am

Hello,

I have a doubt in the below SC which i found while going through the Manhattan SC flash cards. It's basically about identifying the errors and rectifying it.

Sentence:
Because Agent M was believed by Agent Q to
be trustworthy is the reason Agent Q allowed
Agent M the conducting of the top secret
mission alone.
(2 Errors)

The correct sentence as given in flash card is:

Because Agent Q believed that Agent M
was trustworthy, Agent Q allowed Agent M to conduct the
top secret mission alone
.

I agree with the above correct sentence.
My doubt is, can the same be written as,

Because Agent Q believed Agent M to be trustworthy, Agent Q allowed Agent M to conduct the the top secret mission alone.

Would the above be correct?
