Choose the function of the italicized infinitive phrase shown below. (stars indicate italicized infinitive phrase)

Meridith is *to be restored as captain.*

Answer Options:
Function of infinitive: Adjective, Adverb, or Noun.

(I chose adverb & got it wrong)
The main verb here is a LINKING verb, not an action verb, so adverb is unlikely.

So ... is "to be restored as captain" describing the subject (predicate adjective) or renaming the subject (predicate noun)?
