Check that your CLI version of PHP is >= 7.4 so that you can support short closures, e.g.

$ php -v
PHP 7.4.9 (cli) (built: Aug  7 2020 19:23:06) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.4.9, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

PHP 7.3.27, how can I update it to 7.4 using command line?

That depends on your OS.

You can expand to the long Closure syntax:

->when(request()->has('limit'), function ($builder) {
	$builder->take(request('limit'));
})
