Answer:
His mother and wife were killed.
Explanation:
The error in the sentence was that the word "was" was used when there were two subjects (his mother and wife). Secondly, the subject-verb agreement states that plural tense must be used when "and" is used and singular tense must be used only when the subject is singular ; like "macaroni and cheese" is a dish, not two dishes. Both of them make a dish.
