This question is already discussed :
A huge flying reptile that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet, believed to be the largest flying creature the world has ever seen.
(A) believed to be
(B) and that is believed to be
(C) and it is believed to have been
(D) which was, it is believed,
(E) which is believed to be
[spoiler]OA is C
I understand that A, B , D and E are incorrect.
But my doubts with C are
1. it should be 'and it is believed to have been' or 'and it is believed to has been'
2. believed to be is the correct IDIOM but here we are not following it.
Somebody please explain.[/spoiler]
