 |

Hello, 
Could you tell me which one is correct?
1. What a creature Clara is!
2. What a performer Clara is!
3. What an award Clara is! (Figuratively)
Thank you for your quick, prompt attention. |

2 is fine.
1 is okay, but it doesn't sound like a compliment (it could be good or bad, depending on the context).
3 is not quite right. You could say "What a prize/find/treasure Clara is!" but not "award". |
