1 organising: The idiom "it's not worth (fixing the car)" means that the trouble, pain or cost of fixing the car doesn't make sense. The expression "to be (not) worth" is always followed by a verb in the ING form. Example: It's not worth having a sex change at your age.
2 passing: When the verb "to congratulate" is followed by the preposition "on" and a verb, this verb must be in the ING form. Example: He congratulated her on getting a new job. Note that "to congratulate" can be followed by other prepositions, for example: We congratulated the director for her successful film.
3 ruined: The verb "to ruin" should be conjugated into the past simple (preterit) tense. The action took place "yesterday", which is a finished point of time in the past.
4 trying: If followed by a verb, "after" always takes the ING form of the verb. Example: What did you do after leaving him? Note that the prepositions "before", "by" and "without" also act in the same way, for example: He often says insulting things without thinking.
5 to thank: The expression "to take the opportunity" is always followed by the full infinitive form of the verb (with "to"). Example: He wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate the members of his team.
6 attending: The verb "to thank" can be followed by the preposition "for" plus a verb in the ING form: to thank someone for something. Example: Bruno thanked Brian for removing the wine stain from his trousers.

2 pays the bills: This is the best choice here. To "pay the bills" in this context is to provide a decent living. We often say that a job "pays the bills" when we do it for money rather than for pleasure. Example: "I hate my job, but it pays the bills".
