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"?

A. to remind readers that his plan is very cost effective

B. to show that implementing the plan would not disrupt daily life

C. to show that most people value human life too much

D. to remind readers that each human being is valuable
