i) Where was a very different atmosphere in the town this morning than there was yestermorning?
Here the comparison is between this morning and yesterday's morning. so it is wrong to campare a morning with yesterday but with yesterday's morning or yestermorning. And second thing it is a question so we use "?"

Brother look at the original sentence which is given in the question paper:
b) He offered to bring me some tea.
He is offering tea to me. He is not requesting me to serve him tea. So the chance of using "me" is out of question. If we use "me" then sense will be 100% opposite to that which the examiner has conveyed.
Now think over this: He said, "Bring
me some tea." (Here using
me is totally wrong). No body/no writer can consider it correct because what we understand from this: He is ordering/requesting me to bring him tea which is totally opposite to the original sentence in which he was asking about my desire/mood by offering/proposing me tea. If I show my willingness to take/have tea he himself will serve me tea.
I do not think it even near to reasonable solution by putting "me".
And for following sentence:
i) Where was a very different atmosphere in the town this morning than there was yestermorning?
I doubt about your comment that it is question. We should not confuse
W brothers (
Where in this case) with only question situation.
W brothers and one
H can be used in scenarios other than questions also.
