That's correct, favour means prefer.
A great many things = A large number of things
(great describes the quantity of things)
Many great things = A number of great things
(great describes the quality of the things)

That's right. 'To account for' something means to give a satisfactory explanation for something.
E.g. 'She could not account for her brother's absence' = She could not explain why her brother was not there.
'Nobody can account for the whereabouts of the missing jewels' = Nobody can say where the missing jewels are.
Another definition is: to make up a specified proportion of something.
E.g. 'London accounts for 12 percent of the UK population' = 12 percent of the UK population lives in London.
'Non-violent crimes account for the majority of all crimes' = The majority of crimes are non-violent'
