Abandon / abandoment. This associative is good because term abandoment is clearly adjective form of verb abandon.
Absorbency / absorbent. This associative looks fine.
Marketing / markets. This associative looks not relevant because markets refer to place, while marketing refer to job function.
University / universe. This associative clearly not relevant, because term universe has general meaning while term university refers to place.
Volume / volumes. This associative looks really good.
