Answer 1

(1) Marcus and his brothers always help his dad with maintaining the lawn every weekend. (2) They all take turns raking up leaves, bagging trash, and mowing the grass. (3) Afterward, their dad takes them all out for ice cream. (4) After a hard day's work, ice cream is a much-loved reward.

The error is in sentence 1. Instead of "his dad," it should be "their dad" to maintain consistency with the pronouns used in the rest of the passage.
