Here is the item:
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. As you know, the sentence requires the simple past. Drove is the correctly spelled form.
