No, it is mandatory. "question" is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article or other determiner.

You're not changing the sentence into anything. You are adding a tag question to the sentence. You need this:

Add a tag question to this sentence.

Or more likely,

Add the proper tag question to this sentence.
