The prompt asks to fill in the blank with the correct verb form of drive in a past-tense context: 'Question Blank 1 of 1 [input] (drive) for the first time by myself last week!'

First, consider the time reference: 'last week' indicates a completed action in the past. This signals that the simple past tense should be used rather than present, past participle, or gerund forms.

Optioning through possible verb forms: 
- 'drive' is the base form and would not match the past time marker, so it would be incorrect here. 
- 'drove' is the simple past tense of 'to drive,' which correctly aligns with 'last week' and with the subject 'I' (which requires a past action). 
- 'driven' is the past participle and would require a auxiliary verb (e.g., 'have driven'), so it does not fit the standalone past-tense clause here. 
- 'driving' is the present participle/gerund form and would be used in different structures (e.g., 'driving to work is tiring'), not as a simple past verb in this sentence.

Therefore, the natural and grammatically correct completion is 'drove,' producing: 'I drove for the first time by myself last week!' This uses the simple past tense to reflect a completed action in the past and maintains subject-verb agreement with 'I.'

In summary, the key idea is matching the tense to the time expression. The other forms fail to agree with 'last week' and the sentence structure, making them incorrect in this context.
