Explanation:

To solve this, we first find the synonym, antonym, and use the word in a sentence. A synonym for "crucial" is "vital" (meaning very important). An antonym is "unimportant" (meaning not important). For the sentence, we can use the synonym: "Getting enough sleep is vital for good health." A cognate in Spanish for "crucial" is "crítico" (similar in meaning and spelling).

Answer:

• Synonym: vital
• Antonym: unimportant
• Sentence: Getting enough sleep is vital for good health.
• Cognate (Spanish): crítico
