Which part of the spectacle frame connects the two lenses?

1. Arm

2. Bridge

3. Temple

4. Nose pad

The correct answer is: Bridge

The part of the spectacle frame that connects the two lenses is the bridge. The bridge is the part of the frame that goes across the nose and supports the lenses. It plays a significant role in ensuring the proper positioning of the lenses relative to the eyes. The arm (choice A) of the spectacle frame connects to the sides of the lenses and goes over the ears to provide support. The temple (choice C) connects to the sides of the frame and goes over the ears to provide stability. Nose pads (choice D) are the small pads attached to the bridge that sit on the nose to provide comfort and support.
