In the context of an experiment involving a nail and a wire coil, the dependent variable is what you measure or observe to assess the effect of changes in the independent variable. Given the responses provided, the dependent variable would typically be:
**The number of paper clips picked up.**
This is because the number of paper clips picked up would likely depend on some changes made to the independent variables (such as the number of coils of wire, the type of nail used, etc.).
**The number of paper clips picked up.**
