The correct answer is: $\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\begin{aligned} &\cos \left[\left(\omega^{1234}+\omega^{2021}\right) \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right]=\cos \left[\left(\omega+\omega^2\right) \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right] \\ & =\cos \left[-\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right]=\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=-\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\end{aligned}$
