Hey,

Sorry that I missed my answer.

I thought the answers were:
1. such treatment at your hands -> noun phrase
2. the key to his success -> noun phrase

But when I checked my reference material, I found that the following answers:

1. at your hands -> adverb phrase
2. to his secret-> adjective phrase

1. at your hands -> adverb phrase - Right
2. to his secret-> adjective phrase - Right

1. such treatment at your hands -> noun phrase -- No; just 'such treatment'.
2. the key to his success -> noun phrase- Right: a noun phrase includes its adjectives
