Answer:
1. He, with his father, WAS among the first to arrive----we are talking about him and his father is just with him. He is the main subject here
2.Their lives, their liberties and their religion ARE in danger----we are talking about lives, liberties and religion therefore making it plural.
3.Mr.Smith, with his wife and children, live next door. ----same explanation as 1st one
4.The fleet IS under orders to sail----the subject fleet here is a collective noun which means it is one single group. therefore IS is used and not ARE
5. Fifty miles IS a long distance---- IS is used for counting measures like kilometers, miles, Kilogramas, litres etc.
6.The books borrowed from the library ARE on the table---- books is the subject here, not library. books is plural.
7.The boss, as well as his colleagues, HAS been robbed----same explanation as 1sta nd 3rd
10.The quality of the books IS poor----we are talking about the quality and the books themselves.
