Ниже решение по правилу переразложения: если предложение имеет форму “X is/are sure/certain that …” или синонимы (I’m certain, I’m sure, etc.), то можно переразвести так, что предмет внутри придаточного предложения становится подлежащим в новой фразе с конструкцией “Y is sure to …” (или “Y is not sure to …”, если было отрицание). То есть: “X is sure that Y …” → “Y … is sure to …”.
