You look exhausted; you __________ get some rest before driving home.

This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is

should

The sentence gives advice: because the person looks exhausted, resting before driving is the sensible thing to do. Advice is expressed with the modal should followed by the base form of the verb.

Might have needs a past participle (might have got), ought must be followed by to (ought to get), and would rather is never followed by to, so these forms are grammatically wrong in the blank.

Check: You look exhausted; you should get some rest before driving home.

Hence, should.
