Parsing

Rumors that he had become disillusioned with work and was planning to quit the job seem to be unfounded.

Rumors - a subject;
that he had become disillusioned with work and was planning to quit the job - a subject complement;
seem to be - a predicator;
unfounded - a predicate complement.

Is my parsing acceptable?

Anonymous Is my parsing acceptable? Yes, it is. The long clause you called a subject complement I have often heard called a content clause, by the way.
