For a $3 \times 3$ matrix $M$, let trace ( $M$ ) denote the sum of all the diagonal elements of $M$. Let $A$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $| A | = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ and trace $( A ) = 3$. If $B = \operatorname { adj } ( \operatorname { adj } ( 2 A ) )$, then the value of $| B | +$ trace $( \mathrm { B } )$ equals :
(1) 56
(2) 132
(3) 174
(4) 280
