Correct Answer: see a oculist;


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The use of a or an before a noun depends on the sound that follows it, not the actual letter. When a word begins with a vowel sound, you should use an instead of a to make the sentence grammatically correct. In this case, oculist starts with a vowel sound "o", so it should be an oculist.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "You should see an oculist; your eyes look worse today."
