A thought to have contributed

B is thought to have contributed

B without a doubt..

coz A modifies the meaning.. It conveys a meaning which says Andres Marceleau thought, which is wrong.. coz the sentence is trying to say that, "people think that Andres Marceleau did XYZ"

IMHO B.

A) is a run-on sentence.

What's the OA.
