With tikzmark and calligraphic brace:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=15mm]{geometry}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing,
                calligraphy,
                tikzmark}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}[\bfseries(1),left=0pt]
    \item \tikzmarknode{A}{First}
    \item Second
    \item Third
    \item \tikzmarknode{B}{Fourth}
      \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay,
                          BC/.style = {decorate,
                                decoration={calligraphic brace, amplitude=5pt,
                                raise=0.5em, #1}, % for mirroring of brace
                                very thick,pen colour=red} % <---
                        ]
        \draw[BC={}] (A.north -| B.east) -- node[right=1em] {some remark(s)} (B.south east); % <---
      \end{tikzpicture}
    \item Fifth
    \item Sixth
    \item Seventh
    \item Eighth
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Edit: to brace you can ad some text (remark) with node in brace draw command:

        \draw[BC={}] (A.north -| B.east) -- node[right=1em] {some remark(s)} (B.south east);
