They had a daughter. Michael seemed to have settled down at last. 1) Little 2) Many 3) Much 4) Few

Few — «мало». Смысл: лишь немногие бизнесмены были так же удачливы, как он. Few + множественное число (businessmen) означает «почти никакие, мало». Это передаёт исключительность его успеха. Little — используется с неисчисляемыми существительными (little money), а здесь businessmen (исчисляемое). Many — «многие», но тогда смысл был бы «многие были так же удачливы», что противоречит идее редкости. Much — только с неисчисляемыми.

Like — «как, подобно». Здесь проводится сравнение: так же, как и Филипп, Майкл женился на своей детской любви. Like + существительное (Philip) — правильный предлог для сравнения. Alike — употребляется предикативно (после глагола: They look alike). Familiar — «знакомый», требует with (familiar with), не подходит. Similar — «похожий», требует to (similar to Philip), но здесь нет to, и грамматически неверно.
