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.

4. What function do the animal committees have, and what side effect might such "re-education" have?
seropon [69]

The Animal Committees described on Chapter III of <em>Animal Farm</em> have the purpose of organizing the animals into different functions. There are committees such as the Egg Production Committee for the hens, the Clean Tails League for the cows and the Wild Comrades' Reeducation Committee, to tame the rats and rabbits.

These initiatives were not successful, because the animals were behaving almost the same as before. The side effect of this reeducation was that when the animals were being treated with generosity, they took advantage of it. For example, the cat was trying to instruct some sparrows to perch on her paw for her own benefit after attending the Reeducation Committee.
