Answer:magnetically polarized

Explanation:A steel paper clip near a magnet will be magnetically polarized by the magnet so that it is at least temporarily a magnet. If we use the magnetic pole model of magnets, the side of the clip near a North pole of a magnet will become a South pole, and the other side will become a North pole.
