Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries 'totalmente' is a popular intensifier, especially among younger speakers. It can sound a bit informal, so in very formal settings you might prefer 'completamente' or simply omit the adverb. Also, remember that 'fue' refers to a completed event, while 'estuvo' is used for temporary conditions; both are correct here, but 'fue' sounds a bit more definitive.
