    You must learn to interpret what is given to you. When something melts it becomes a liquid so at -114.1°C ethanol becomes a liquid then it stays a liquid until it reaches 78°C then it starts to boil and become a gas. So what is room temperature? Room temperature is about 20°C-25°C so at that temperature ethanol is already a liquid but it has not started to boil yet so the answer to your question is, ethanol is a liquid at room temperature.

    Ethanol is in liquid state at room temperature. Normal room temperature never goes up (even in the hottest places) more than the boiling point of ethanol. And the lowest temperature would not be so low either for ethanol to freeze. So ethanol exists as liquid at room temperature.
    I hope you know that boiling point means the temperature at which ethanol evaporates and escapes as gas.

    Hope it helped!
