1. arrive不錯是v.i(不及物動詞)，不及物動詞不一定要跟preposition，只要沒有直接受詞就可以
但為甚麼可以arrive home？因為這個home並不是名詞，而是副詞(adverb)，如：go home, come home等等的home都是副詞
2. take into account是一句片語，其意思就是to consider when judging a situation:
所以既用consider就並不要用into account
3. 句子不能算錯，因為shave是及物動詞，又是不及物動詞，既為及物動詞就可以有直接受詞(object)，如牛津第六版就有一例：
The nurse washed and shaved him.
所以，以myself用作反射代名詞，並無不對
但shave既可用作不及物動詞，為甚麼不寫成：
My father shaves every morning. (這豈不簡潔得多）
 
4. 因這句有herself這反身代名詞，故這句的hurt並不是形容詞，又不是組成被動語氣(passive voice)的過去分詞(past participle)，而是主動詞（使受傷之意）
　所以問句並不用was，而是要用Did，而在Did後就要用原形動詞hurt.
希望幫到你！
