requisite & requiremrnt application

[mirabadi]

Dear friends,
According to "check your english vocabulary for IELTS", Written by ''Rawdon Wyatt" and in page 1, we can see test below:
3. It is a .......................... of the university that you attend an interview.
A.requirement B.requisite C. requiem.
now, my question is that why A is true and not B?

Because it should be a noun (requirement) and not an adjective (adjective).

Because it should be a noun (requirement) and not an adjective (adjective).

I think that's a typo. billmcd meant to write, "Because it should be a noun (requirement) and not an adjective (requisite)".

Actually, 'requisite' can be used as a noun, and would fit in the original question, so it's a bad question.

However, I think many speakers would agree with bill that 'requisite' is more commonly used as an adjective.

dear friends,
from above, thus, I found that the question is essentially problematic, and is not a true one.
best regards.:roll::roll:

I've learnt something here again. I did not initially think that "requisite" was a noun although I use the word "prerequisite" a lot.
