This is more of a question in linguistics than in math. "Which answer is the most appropriate" is a stupid question to ask if one or more terms has ambiguous, neither 6 nor 10 is more semantically correct than the other (8 is technically not a valid answer here, if you interpret the question literally). If someone said "6 is a more appropriate answer because 2+4 is 6", there's nothing you can say to discredit that answer that you couldn't say for "10 is a more appropriate answer because (2*4)+2 is 10".
It would be like saying "How much flour is needed to make a pound of bread?" (as in, the unit of weight, or the currency) and asking which answer is "most appropriate".
