Explanation:

A narrative text is the account made by someone of something, a sequence of events. On the other hand, a descriptive text is one that details in detail the aspects of a certain place, event, person, object or animal. The purpose of the author is precisely to convey the impressions, qualities, sensations, characteristics and observations about what is being detailed. one way of identifying a narrative text is the presence of adjectives.

Based on this, we can conclude that the first sentence is a narrative text, because an event is being narrated, which is jim asking a question. The second sentence presents a narrative and descriptive text, because besides having the narration of a series of events has the description of a hand that grabbed the pulse of somebody. In addition the second sentence presents many adjectives.
