Grammar
Help me paraphrase this.
Hi
I'd like to rephrase the below with "has" directly followed by "the sense". Could you please check 1-5 below?
"set" above has something of the sense it has in "Sally set a chair by the bed."
(1) "set" has the(?) sense of that (as?) in "Sally .... " - Is the use of article correct? / Do I need 'as' here?
(2) "set" has a sense of that which is similar to that in "Sally ... " - Is this correct?
(3) "set" has a sense as in "Sally ..."
(4) "set" has a sense as that in "Sally ...."
(5) "set" has a sense as is used in "Sally ..."
Please forgive me if I tired you with my horrible English.
Could you indicate acceptable ones if any, and provide some good examples of your own?
Thank you.

It would be better if you at least completed your sentences; I cannot judge accurately with fragments. Nor am I sure what you are attempting. What does 'above' mean in your red sentence?

Hi Mister Micawber
Yeah, I'm sorry I can see why you are confused by it.
I was thinking of a context where the original, bold(red) sentence explains the meaning of a word(to set) in light of other example it is used in. I shouldn't have put in 'above' you pointed out. Sorry..
The verb 'set' in this case has something of the sense that it has in "he’ll set a man to watch you"

Okay, I'll make it simple.
(1) X has the(?) sense of that (as?) in Y. ( Is the use of article correct? / Do I need 'as' here?)
(2) X has a sense of that which is similar to that in Y
(3) X has a sense as in Y.
X has something of the sense it has in Y
(X is a word, and Y is an example sentence)(1) X has the(?) sense of that (as?) in Y. ( Is the use of article correct? / Do I need 'as' here?)
(2) X has a sense of that which is similar to that in Y
(3) X has a sense as in Y.

These are correct grammars of sentences essentially synonymous with your original blue sentence:
(1) X has some of the sense of that in Y.
(2) X has some sense which is similar to that in Y
(3) X has some sense of Y.
(4) X has part of the sense in Y.
(5) X has some of the sense used in Y.
(1) X has some of the sense of that in Y.
(2) X has some sense which is similar to that in Y
(3) X has some sense of Y.
(4) X has part of the sense in Y.
(5) X has some of the sense used in Y.
