Hi, When you talk about ' senses ' in this way, you are usually talking about menaings. When you talk about ' aspects ' in this way, you are usually talking about different ways of looking (figuratively) at something. The preposition is more likely to be 'from' than 'in'.

Hi,
sure. Here is some: 'In many senses, her pictures looked for an inner srtength and resilience in her subjects; one that she often found and brought out in her pictures.'
And I found something else too, 'But the open roads to the West now contained little senses of destiny and hope.'

I don't think this is a well-written sentence. For example, it is unclear what the word 'one' refers to.

Hi Clive
Thank you for the reply and if you don't mind I have some other questions. In the sentence: "Lang suffered recurrent illness from stomach ulcers throughout the 1940s. From 1945 to 1950 her work came to a virtual standstill." what virtual means exactly? Any synonym for that?
And in this one: " Through her younger son, she learnt of a forty-five miles

Virtual: being such in power, force, or effect, though not actually or expressly such: a virtual dependence on charity.

No, not at all. You can say that it means 'for all practical purposes' here, however.
