+Her actions affect the state on Bob's side $$B$$ due to entanglement.
+Alice then sends her qubit $$A$$ to Bob over the quantum channel,
so he has both sides of the entangled pair.
Finally, Bob performs a measurement of his pair in the Bell basis,
which will yield a Bell state that he can then look up in the table above

In the end, Alice only sent a single qubit,
and the rest of the information transfer was via entanglement.
