First, let's see the of simple, compound and complex sentence.

• Simple Sentence:- Simple sentences are sentences containing one independent clause, with a subject and a predicate.

• Compound sentence:- A sentence, when two independent related ideas clauses are connected by a conjunction, is called compound sentence.

• Complex Sentence:- A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses

Now, let's see the sentence we we're given.

Hardy was not only bored but he was also irritated.

Here, two clauses are used:- "Hardy was bored" and "He was irritated"

This two clauses which use same subject (Hardy & he) and same verb (was) are connected by the conjunction "not only.. but also"

Therefore, we can say, the sentence is a compound sentence.
