"Brazil and Argentina have confirmed 2 - their first cases of swine flu (...)"
Como estamos falando sobre dois países, o adjetivo possessivo their é a opção mais apropriada.
They're e it's não indicam posse, pois funcionam como sujeitos da frase.
Its seria possível se estivéssemos falando apenas sobre um único país.Rate this question:

Were é a opção correta, pois estamos falando de dois casos (they), então não usamos was.
Is não é apropriado gramaticalmente e também não faz sentido, já que a idéia acima é a de que dois caso foram registrados em São Paulo (passado). O mesmo ocorre com a opção will be que está indicando uma idéia de futuro.Rate this question:
