Grammar
Aren't you sure (that) what you believe is right?
1) Aren't you sure (that) what you believe is right?
2) Are you sure (that) that you live alone in this remote area is right?
In #1, "what" plays the role of the object of "believe" and "what" clause plays the role of the subject of "is right" and the object of "sure."
In #2, "that" clause plays the role of the subject of "is right" and the object of "sure."
But Originally, in #1 and #2 each an additional "that" is needed to lead the object clause, conventionally omitted.
Up to here, am I right?
Considering in terms of the grammar, can I use with the omitted "that" like the followings?
3) Aren't you sure that what you believe is right?
4) Are you sure that that you live alone in this remote area is right?

Thank you, GPY, for your very so helpful answer.
Do you mean the omitted 'of' by your remark?; If so, I know.
"what" clause is not the object of "sure". The thing that you are sure about is the preposition "what you believe is right".

I'm so sorry for my poor English.
"what" is not the object of "sure". The thing that you are sure about is the proposition "what you believe is right".
I thought you meant to write "preposition" in place of "proposition" and that you meant the object of "what" clause is "sure of", not "sure."

park sang joonI'm so sorry for my poor English ; I don't know what you mean by ""what" is not the object of "sure". The thing that you are sure about is the proposition.""sure" is an adjective. It does not have an object.
Beyond this, that post of mine is probably not helpful, so just ignore it.
