Hi Soniya.
"completely" and "fully" have the same meaning when you're showing nothing is missing. For example: She had fully/completely recovered from the accident.
Also "fully" used to emphasize an amount or showing to contain (hold) as much as possible. For example: The disease affects fully 30 percent of the population. (not completely)
I think "fully" is more natural in your sentence.
For more information direct attention to Oxford Dictionary.

however, on my test paper the answer is "fully".
「Decant it into a bottle, make sure to drain fully.」

I would say "drain completely". Example: The lake had to be drained completely in order to find the murder weapon.
fully= entirely/wholly: You should be fully finished with that work by now.
completely=totally /utterly: I am completely exhausted
