IC -“derivation tree"

Hello teachers!

Could you please check my “derivation tree"?

I'm not sure about position of article (the) and pronoun(her). Is it right to put them like this?

Maybe other mistakes?

Assuming D is "determiner", it's the correct label for the initial "the", but it should also be the label for "her", which is a possessive determiner here, not a pronoun. "pearl" is actually a noun, not an adjective, but it does modify the noun "earrings" as you have it. CJ
