No, it's not. There are at least two errors. The first is word number two. Have a look at that first and see if you can work out what's wrong.

Peter believes John having supernatural talent.

Thanks for your correction!

[emsr2d2]

Well done. Now look at word number four.

[duiter]

Peter believes John has (a) supernatural talent.

Thanks for your correction!

If that's the standard of English in that grammar book, I recommend throwing the book away as soon as possible, and writing a letter of complaint to the author/publisher!!
