Почему так

• a/an — один предмет из многих или первое упоминание: a ball, a restaurant, an old museum. Выбор an — перед гласным звуком: an owl, an honest boy.
• the — конкретный или уже известный предмет, единственный в своём роде, превосходная степень: the museum во второй раз, the sun, the Moon, the best answer.
• ∅ — общее значение, множественное число или неисчисляемое: books, breakfast, dinner, football, history, English.
• С географией: the — с реками, океанами, горными цепями, пустынями и некоторыми названиями стран: the Volga, the Alps, the Sahara, the Netherlands, the Philippines. Без артикля — Italy, Japan, Lake Baikal, Mount Everest.
• В упр. 7 важно значение: go to school — учиться; go to the school — идти в здание. in hospital — быть пациентом; go to the hospital — навестить.

Проверка: в упр. 11 цепочка an old museum → the museum показывает первое и повторное упоминание; в упр. 7 пары school/the school и hospital/the hospital различаются по смыслу.
