grammar - Which preposition should be used after the verb “request”?

3 is out: one might request an item from a person, but not generally a behavior.



2 is correct but the "of" is unnecessary.



1 just sounds better than the others because it is less wordy.



However, the most direct is, "Please refrain from shouting." Why make it complicated?
