Answer:
imagine ruining other people's answers
Explanation:
Senor Saguaro is a tall cactus that is outside of Archie's home. It is described as a "30 foot giant that towered over the toolshed in the back of his [Archie's] home." The towering figure provides a talking companion to the rather unique professor, Archie.
The dialogue develops the characters because it shows that A. Aunt Mary is afraid of fire; and D. Kaydee is a calm person.
Aunt Mary acts nervously around his niece trying to star the stove and is afraid that she is going to set the house on fire, but Kaydee remains calm and explains the situation without being rude.
