use of exiger
This question relates to:French writing exercise "Our "grown-up" hobbies"

Hi Richard,
The verb exiger is to demand and is very strong in French.
You are given three possibilities -
ça nécessite
ça demande
ça requiert
I know that exiger is sometimes translated as to require but I think it is too strong here.
