The way I understand it, B is incorrect because you do not necessarily have to be on the planning committee to have a significant financial interest.
B states that ALL who have a financial interest do not live in the suburb, E states that SOME who have a financial interest do not live in the suburb. It cannot be guaranteed that all who have a financial interest are on the committee, therefore due to the standard of proof that a MBT question asks, E is correct.
Hope that helps!

Remember from the earlier lessons that bringing in outside knowledge to determine your answer is a mistake the writers are trying to get you to make!
Do you find that you're running out of time at the end of each section? Do you struggle more with LR or RC? I find that drilling really helps!
I usually drill 10 LR questions until I'm consistently getting -2 to 0 on drills. Using analytics can help pinpoint what kinds of questions you're struggling with, and you can go back to the curriculum to improve on those specific question types. I also found that branching out on the internet for explanations that I felt weren't being adequately explained through 7Sage helped.
For RC, my best score is a -1 (which might've been a fluke, but we'll see), you just have to keep reading and reading and reading. Passages are hard, understanding what you're reading is even harder. Everyone has their own tips and tricks, you have to find what works for you. Pay attention to key words that signal what the author feels about the passage, and drill, drill, drill!!!
Hope this helps! I'm sort of in the same boat, high 150s and I've cracked 160s but still trying to stay there. Good luck!! Feel free to reach out :)
Edit: BLIND REVIEW BLIND REVIEW BLIND REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!! Look at explanations for questions that you got wrong and understand why you got them wrong. LSAT logic is sometimes inconsistent but you can find patterns that help keep it more consistent than not. All about training your brain!
