Hi there!

"After closing her eyes and exhaling" tells us when the action was performed. The key word here is "after".

"Noni began to count syllables" tells us the main subject, Noni, and the action she performs, which is counting syllables.

"silently and perfectly" tells us how the action was performed. We know this because these two words are adverbs, words used to describe actions.

I hope this helps!
