Explanation:

When a nail is picked up by a magnet, it becomes a temporary magnet. Once the magnet is removed, the nail loses its magnetism quickly. So the paper - clip attached to the nail due to the induced magnetism in the nail will fall off as the nail is no longer magnetic.

Answer:

The paper clip will fall off of the nail because the nail was only a temporary magnet.
