Explanation:

1. Distance is always considered to be singular. So "sixty miles" is singular and the verb will be "is" , not "are".
2. "Bible" is the holy book of Christians. It is a definite proper noun. So before "Bible", there will be definite article "the", not "a".
3. "Best" is the superlative form of adjective. Before superlative degree we always use definite article "the". So before "best", there will be "the", not "a".
4. "Many a child" denotes singular subject. If the subject is 3rd person singular number, "s" or "es" will be added to the verb. So here the verb will be "likes", not "like".
5. Only if the subject is 3rd person singular number, "s" or "es" will be added to the verb. "You" is 2nd person. So the verb will be "sleep", not "sleeps".
