You are correct, sentence 4, "The factory closed its doors, and more than 200 people lost their jobs," is a simple sentence. A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause, which means it has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. In this case, the subject is "The factory" and the verb is "closed." The sentence expresses the complete thought that the factory closed its doors, and it also provides additional information about the consequence of the closure, which is that more than 200 people lost their jobs.
