Adjectives

1)That small indian restaurant in the next block serves fresh meals.

2)the little black dog barked at the well-dressed stranger.

answer:
1)that, small, indian, the , next, fresh.
2)old, wood, the, well-dressed

i am not able to understand why there are THAT and THE in the answer. according to me that is a pronoun and the is an article isn't it.

please tell me the reason.

there are very less chances that answer can be incorrect but they can be inncorect.

Some grammar texts (especially traditional ones) lump determiners and articles together with the adjectives. In your first sentence, "that" is not functioning as a pronoun. It is not a subject or object.
