    Solution

    When there are two Subjects in a sentence and they are not in the same Number, then we must have to use separate Auxiliaries (is, are, am, was, were, have, has) for both of them. So here, ‘eight people were killed’ is correct. In Iran, at least eight people were killed and twelve others were injured after four train carriages derailed between the towns of Mashhad and Yazd.
