what are two ways that hinduism has affected modern indian society?
couples may include a yagna as part of their wedding ceremony.
the caste system limits job choices for indians.
families offer food to deities along with their prayers.
women must wear scarves over their hair.
children are expected to learn religious texts in school.

Explanation:

• Couples may include a yagna as part of their wedding ceremony: Yagna is a traditional Hindu ritual involving fire - worship. In modern Indian society, especially among Hindu couples, it is still a common practice to include yagna in wedding ceremonies as it is an important part of Hindu religious and cultural heritage.
• Families offer food to deities along with their prayers: Offering food (naivedya) to deities is a fundamental Hindu practice. In modern Indian households, especially those following Hinduism, this practice is still prevalent as a way of showing devotion to the gods.

The caste system is illegal in modern India (though its social impacts still linger in some aspects, but the option "The caste system limits job choices for Indians" is factually incorrect in the legal and modern - policy context). Women wearing scarves over their hair is more of a practice in some other religions (like in some interpretations of Islam, not a widespread Hindu - specific practice that affects modern Indian society in the way the question asks). And while religious education may be part of some cultural or private school curriculums, it is not a state - mandated "Children are expected to learn religious texts in school" in a general sense for all of modern Indian society.

Answer:

• Couples may include a yagna as part of their wedding ceremony.
• Families offer food to deities along with their prayers.
