No, sorry, that's not it.
The error focuses on the pronoun "their" ... what is its antecedent?
"Everyone in our neighborhood mows their lawn on Saturday, and my street, as a result of that, is pretty." This construction:
has one error, a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent.
has two errors, a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent and a shift in tense.
*** has one error, an inappropriate combination of modifier and noun.
has one error, a lack of grammatical subject.
has two errors, a shift in number and a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent.

has one error, a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent.
has two errors, a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent and a shift in tense. Both verbs are in present tense, so this is not the correct answer.
*** has one error, an inappropriate combination of modifier and noun. The error has nothing to do with any modifier.
has one error, a lack of grammatical subject.
The subjects "everyone" and "street" are fine.
has two errors, a shift in number and a pronoun with no appropriate antecedent.
So ... which of the two left is the actual error?
