Take a look at the sentence again:
If Eli cooked and ate the half head of raw
cabbage [the only item in the refrigerator], he knew that he would burp
through his date with Amy, so he drived
to the food store and bought a box of macaroni
and cheese to fix instead.
The second verb, drived, is the problem. The sentence requires the simple past. Drove is the correctly spelled form.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| drive | drive(s) | drove | driven |
Ate, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
