Big Book verbal sections

I am practicing my verbal skills by doing ETS Big Book questions (thanks for the advice Gregmat). I really enjoy doing those questions rather than third party ones. However, I'm not sure whether how much I gain from doing the two question types that are outdated, namely the related pair and find opposite questions. I'm getting mostly put off by these parts. Did you practice those questions types when doing Big Book practice?

Greg is perhaps the best tutor out there in the GRE world. Also a super nice guy.
However, I personally, disagree with doing the two blanks from the old GRE.
On one hand it is true that for training is good to stretch your mental muscles but we do also adhere to the new standard. We are in 2020 not 20 years ago.
By the way: one blank, RC and CR are perfectly fine and in line to the actual GRE
It is totally up to the student

Thanks for your reply. Totally agree about Gregmat, he really lives up to the hype.
I hear what you're saying, though given that I've done all ETS OG and Verbal Reasoning book questions, I don't really find a better alternative to the old text completion questions.
However, my real concern is about the two other Big Book question types (find pair & find opposites) as these questions aren't at all in the modern GRE.
