The correct option is D.
What Gulliver is trying to say in the passage given above is that, no matter how faithfully and loyally you have served the princes before, once you do something that they did not like all the services you have rendered  to them in the past will not even be remembered by them again. 
When you say 'something is of little weight' as used in the sentence above, that mean, that thing have no importance, it is something that can be easily be disregarded.

Which sentence contains a correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifier?
vekshin1

The correct answer is C. Jaye, who has three dogs, just adopted a puppy from the shelter.

Explanation:

A non-restrictive modifier is a clause or phrase that describes a noun. Additionally, this differs from other modifiers because this is not essential. This implies the modifier is enclosed by commas and can be deleted without making the sentence incomplete.

In this context, the only option that includes a correctly punctuated non-restrictive modifier is "Jaye, who has three dogs, just adopted a puppy from the shelter" because the section "who has three dogs" describes the noun "Jaye", this modifier can be omitted, which means it is not essential and it is enclosed by commas.
