GMAT Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: A pioneer journalist, Nellie Bly's exploits included

Hi Expert,

I understand that choice B is the best choice among all the choices. However, I did not understand the usage of "circling the globe" after "included".

The exploits of Nellie Bly, a pioneer journalist, --subject
included --verb
circling the globe...--does not seem to be the object

Please help !
