Answer 1

thats quite a sporean way of putting it, u can use it that way or just say 'she has taken her meal' or 'she just ate'

Answer 2

Yes, it is correct.

The first person to respond to your question suggested that "she ate rice" would be more proper than "she has eaten rice."

There is a somewhat subtle difference between these two statements. It is not simply that one is more acceptable, but that they have slightly different meetings. If English is your first language, I'm sure you're familiar (at least subconsciously) of the difference.

"She has eaten rice" lets us know that at some time in the past this person has consumed rice. Depending on the context, this may imply that she has had at least one experience of tasting rice, or it might indicate that at some time in the past she ate rice regularly.

"She ate rice" would typically be used to specify what happened at a particular time. For example, it might be in response to a question about what she had for lunch today.

Bottom line: Both versions are grammatically correct. Neither is preferable to the other. They simply have slightly different connotations.
