Why is hydrogenated olive oil solid but cis-unsaturated olive oil a liquid?

The double bond in the cis-unsaturated olive oil is bent in the center and doesn't pack well into a crystal lattice necessary to make it a solid, so it turns out to be liquid at room temperature. Hydrogenated olive oil however is a solid because all of its double bonds are trans and it can fit into a crystal lattice.
Hope that's helpful :)

What is partially hydrated?
Perhaps you mean 'hydrogenated'. This is a process where a liquid oil is chemically treated to make it solid. The resulting product is extremely unhealthy.
Is coconut oil a liquid or solid?
It is a liquid at room temperature: 24 °C (76 °F) and above if it is virgin coconut oil . But it is usually found as hydrogenated product so it will be a solid if it has been processed. Therefore it depends on which type you have.

In what state of matter does cooking oil exist at room temperature?
Clearly, this depends on the temperature of the room. In most countries, cooking oil will be liquid at room temperature. However in very cold countries, cooking oil will be solid at room temperature.

If it is "oil" then it is a liquid. Some salad dressings, however, are composed of both solid and liquid components.

Characteristics of hydrogenated oils?
Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.
