Dear Alan, I once asked the same query but did not received any reply and the reason was sent to my e-mail. However, I'm asking this question again, because I have had two different answers.
In fact, this was a test:

If you don't get better, I will take you to ... hospital.

(a) -
(b) an
(c) a
(d) the

One teacher explained this way:

Both (a) and (d) are possible.
... to the hospital, when there is a specific hospital in mind.
... to hospital, a more general statement, even though the speaker/listener would know which
specific hospital was being considered.

The version with the zero article is probably the one that would be used in most instances.

Another teacher's explanation was as follows:

'...take you to hospital' is fine. I would add 'the' simply to make it sound more urgent - in other words to the hospital near where we are now.

I'm at a loss. Dear Teacher, I'm preparing for my English exams and eager to know the answer of the test. Do we use 'the' because the subject in the main clause isn't a patient or is the test flawed?
Please, I need your help!

Many thanks.

All are grammatically possible except B.

（We don't in principle deal with questions of meaning here - refer to usage guidelines if in doubt - but note that standard BrE 'go to hospital' equates to standard AmE 'go to the hospital'.)
