Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal."
But, as to my self, having been wearied out for many
years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at
length utterly despairing of success, I fortunately fell
upon this proposal, which, as it is wholly new, so it hath
something solid and real, of no expence and little
trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can
incur no danger in disobliging England.
Why does Swift most likely say his proposal is "of no
expence and little trouble"?
to remind readers that his plan is very cost effective
to show that implementing the plan would not
disrupt daily life
to show that most people value human life too much
to remind readers that each human being is
valuable

Answer 1

Swift most likely says his proposal is "of no expense and little trouble"

Because "he wants to emphasize the practicality and feasibility of his solution" (mmrizvi034)
