I'll take your word as to say they mean time was asked and granted but the word request does not imply nor can we infer from a logical point that a conference was granted. It is poorly written and a test maker would be required to not score this question if it was challenged and one was taking a test that meant more. The question needs to have the word granted for it to be actually true. The test maker is asking people to read something into the question and that is a poorly designed question. People who write these questions should really take a look as to what the words mean and whether they are communicating what they want.
I have heard players and coaches yell "I called time" and blues and officials respond "You requested time but I grant it".
Request per Webster's means to ask for. So the coach asked for time. Until the blue grants it, you really have nothing except we now know that when taking a ASA (that was the test, right?) test, request means ask for and granted.
