Given the figure on the problem, let's try to analyze the corresponding reason for each statements to be true.

The first statement says that MO bisects ∠PMN. This is given in the problem, hence, for the first statement the reason is given.

The second statement says that ∠PMO≅∠NMO. The two angles become congruent due to the bisector line MO, hence, the reason behind this statement is definition of angle bisector.

The third statement says that MO ≅ MO. This is due to reflexive property.

The fourth statement states that OM bisects ∠PON. This is given in the problem.

The fifth statement states that ∠POM≅∠NOM. This is the same as statement two, which is due to definition of angle bisector.

The last statement states that ΔPMO ≅ ΔNMO. Due to the congruence stated from second and fifth statement, this statement can be reasonable due to SAS postulate.

Hence, the completed two-column proof is
