This is an incorrect choice. You can't "fill out" a glass. A better choice would be to "fill up" a glass when it is empty. The preposition "up" is used with "fill" to describe adding liquid (gas, champagne, water) to something else (a glass, a tank, a bucket, etc).
This is an incorrect choice. You can't "fill out" a line, however, you can "file" in a line. When people "file out", they move in order, one following the other.
