The sentence that contains an error in pronoun use is sentence 1.
The error is in the pronoun "his" which refers to Marcus but should instead use "their" to correctly refer to Marcus and his brothers collectively helping their dad. The corrected sentence would be: "Marcus and his brothers always help their dad with maintaining the lawn every weekend."
