Answer:

the literary device used by the author is Hyperbole using the words buried,

and avalanche .

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement that's not meant to be taken literally by the reader. In this case the author is exxagerating stating to be buried in homework and with an avalanche of paper.
