To solve this problem, we need to analyze the information given about the angles \( \angle LMN \), \( \angle LMO \), and \( \angle OMN \).

1. **Given Information:**
- \( m\angle LMN = 46^\circ \)
- \( m\angle LMO = 22^\circ \)

2. **Finding \( m\angle OMN \):**
- Since \( LMO \) and \( OMN \) are adjacent angles that together form \( \angle LMN \):
\[
m\angle LMN = m\angle LMO + m\angle OMN
\]
- Substituting the known values:
\[
46^\circ = 22^\circ + m\angle OMN
\]
- To find \( m\angle OMN \), we subtract \( 22^\circ \) from \( 46^\circ \):
\[
m\angle OMN = 46^\circ - 22^\circ = 24^\circ
\]

3. **Now, evaluate the given statements:**
- **Statement 1:** \( m\angle LMN < m\angle LMO \)
- This is false because \( 46^\circ > 22^\circ \).

- **Statement 2:** \( m\angle OMN \) is half of \( m\angle LMN \)
- \( m\angle OMN = 24^\circ \) which is not half of \( 46^\circ \) (half would be \( 23^\circ \)). This statement is false.

- **Statement 3:** \( m\angle OMN = m\angle LMN − m\angle LMO \)
- We calculated \( m\angle OMN = 24^\circ \) and confirmed that:
\[
m\angle LMN - m\angle LMO = 46^\circ - 22^\circ = 24^\circ
\]
- This statement is true.

- **Statement 4:** \( m\angle OMN + m\angle LMN = 180^\circ \)
- \( m\angle OMN + m\angle LMN = 24^\circ + 46^\circ = 70^\circ \), which is not equal to \( 180^\circ \). This statement is false.

The only true statement about the relationship of the angles is:

**\( m\angle OMN = m\angle LMN - m\angle LMO \)**.
